which were for males. The monthly average for males was closest to

(A) 3659

(B) 6099

(C) 6861

(D) 9149

Twelve months in a year.

109,782/12 *2/3 = ?

Is the previous answer correct?

6099

Yes

6099

To find the monthly average for males, we need to divide the total number of child labor permits issued for males by the number of months in the fiscal year.

First, let's find out the number of child labor permits issued for males. We know that 2/3 of the total permits were issued for males, so we can calculate this by multiplying the total number of permits by 2/3:

Number of child labor permits for males = 109,782 * 2/3
= 73,188

Next, we need to find the number of months in the fiscal year of 1991-1992. Typically, a fiscal year spans 12 months.

Now, we can calculate the monthly average for males by dividing the total number of child labor permits for males by the number of months in the fiscal year:

Monthly average for males = Number of child labor permits for males / Number of months in fiscal year
= 73,188 / 12
≈ 6099

Therefore, the monthly average for males is closest to 6099, which corresponds to option (B).
