Question

Answer 1

The life expectancy of women in a particular country is 79.9 years, while the life expectancy of men is 75.9 years. Therefore, the life expectancy of women is 5.27% greater than that of men.

Step-by-step explanation:

The life expectancy (at birth) of women in a particular country as of 2020 is 79.9 years.

The life expectancy of men in that same country is 75.9 years.

To find the percentage difference, we can subtract the life expectancy of men from the life expectancy of women to get

79.9 - 75.9 = 4 years.

Then, we can divide this difference by the life expectancy of men and multiply by 100 to get the percentage difference:

(4 / 75.9) * 100 = 5.27%.
