In the state of Indiana, 192,031 people claim not to speak English very well. If this is 3.2% of the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older, estimate the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older. (round to the nearest person)

6,000,969

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In the state of Indiana, 192,031 people claim not to speak English very well

Which is actually representing 3.2% of the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older

Let represent V with the total population of Indiana residents who are aged 5 years and older.

Then:

3.2% of V = 192,031

0.032 V = 192,031

V =

V = 6,000, 968.75

V = 6,000,969 ( to the nearest person)

We can thereby conclude that, the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older = 6,000,969.
