To determine approximately how many of the one million U.S. adults in same-sex marriages have families that include children, we need to calculate the number for each given percentage option.
We are given the following percentages to consider:
- 5%
- 10%
- 25%
- 50%
Let's calculate the number of families for each percentage:
1. 5%:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of families} = 1,000,000 \times \frac{5}{100} = 50,000
\][/tex]
2. 10%:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of families} = 1,000,000 \times \frac{10}{100} = 100,000
\][/tex]
3. 25%:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of families} = 1,000,000 \times \frac{25}{100} = 250,000
\][/tex]
4. 50%:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of families} = 1,000,000 \times \frac{50}{100} = 500,000
\][/tex]
So, the approximate number of families that include children for each percentage option are:
- 5%: 50,000 families
- 10%: 100,000 families
- 25%: 250,000 families
- 50%: 500,000 families
