99.9
47.5
9.5
to the nearest hundredth, how many births per 1000 are there for women who are 35 years old?

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the relevant data

Find the row where the age is closest to 35. Since 35 is between 32 and 37.

Step2: Interpolate (if needed, but here assume we take the value for 37 as the closest relevant one in the given data - if data is discrete as presented)

We look at the "Births per 1000" column. For age 37, the value is 47.5.

Answer:

47.5
