A. 5%
B. 10%
C. 25%
D. 50%



Answer :

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
