the population of texas is about 8%of the total population of the united states. daniel claims that since the population of the united states is about 312 million, the population of texas must be around 35 million. is his claim reasonable? explain.
8% means=8/100=.08,
.08 X 312,000,000=24,960,000. No!. The population is less than 35,000,000 people.
