Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

The table shows the distribution of population (in millions) in medieval Europe in three different years. Complete the sentences based on the data in this table.

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|}
\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ Year } & 1000 & 1340 & 1450 \\
\hline Southern Europe & 17 & 25 & 19 \\
\hline Western Europe & 12 & 35.5 & 22.5 \\
\hline Eastern Europe & 9.5 & 13 & 9.3 \\
\hline Medieval Europe (Total) & 38.5 & 73.5 & 50 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

This period saw [tex]$\square$[/tex] deaths in Western Europe than in Eastern Europe.

The percentage of population decline during this period was [tex]$\square$[/tex].



Answer :

Based on the data from the table:

1. The population in Western Europe was 35.5 million in 1340 and decreased to 22.5 million in 1450.
2. The population in Eastern Europe was 13 million in 1340 and decreased to 9.3 million in 1450.
3. The total population of Medieval Europe was 73.5 million in 1340 and decreased to 50 million in 1450.

First, let's find out the number of deaths in Western Europe:

Western Europe deaths = 35.5 million (1340) - 22.5 million (1450) = 13.0 million

Next, let's find out the number of deaths in Eastern Europe:

Eastern Europe deaths = 13 million (1340) - 9.3 million (1450) = 3.7 million

Now, let's calculate the percentage of population decline in Medieval Europe:

Percentage of population decline = [tex]\[\frac{73.5 \text{ million} - 50 \text{ million}}{73.5 \text{ million}}\][/tex] [tex]\(\times 100\)[/tex] ≈ 31.97%

So we can complete the sentences from the table as follows:

1. This period saw more deaths in Western Europe than in Eastern Europe.
2. The percentage of population decline during this period was approximately 31.97%.
