Answer: See attached image below for the filled out table.

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two rows are already done. They have X's for every month to indicate a monthly payment regularly throughout the year without any extra conditions/requirements.

The third row will have exactly 4 copies of X in it. Two of them are already placed for January and April. The other two payments are in July and October. Notice the months are spaced 3 apart and how 12/4 = 3.

The fourth row will have X's across every cell in the same way the first row does since the internet bill is monthly. The same applies to the cell phone bill and food rows.

Something like the car loan will only have 2 copies of X in that row. Semiannual means twice a year, aka every 6 months. One copy of X is already placed for us in this row. This is in January (month 1). Six months later in month 1+6 = 7 (July) is when the next car loan payment occurs.

Lawn care will have X's only for the months of April through September; any other month won't have an X.

Day care will have X's for February, April, June, August, October, December. We start with February and alternate each month to fill out the rest of the year. This is due to the phrasing "every other month".

The gym membership will have one X for July only, since it's an annual payment.
