Answer:

460 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the rule of three where we know that for 1 million people 4.6 die from asthma and we want to know the number of people who die is there are 100 million people. So:

1 million ---------------- 4.6

100 million ------------ X

Where X is the number of people aged 5 to 34 that die from asthma.

Solving for X:


X=(100\cdot4.6)/(1)=460

Therefore, the answer is 460 people
