Answer 3

To figure out how many people speak Greek, we can first calculate how many people speak Chinese using the given information.

According to the question, there are about 1.2 million people in the U.S. who speak Chinese, which is roughly 3 times the number of people who speak Greek.

To find the number of people who speak Greek, we divide the number of Chinese speakers (1.2 million) by 3.

1.2 million ÷ 3 = 400,000

Therefore, approximately 400,000 people in the U.S. speak Greek.
