Answer
The national (Total U. S.) divorce rate in 1930 is 1.6 divorces per 1,000 people per year. This value is shown in the “Total U. S.” column for the year 1930.
Explanation
What you are looking for in this table
The question asks for the national divorce rate, so you should use the “Total U. S.” column (not Winkler, Ector, or Midland). The rates are already given per 1,000 people per year.
Read the correct row and column
- Find the row for 1930.
- Move across to the Total U. S. column.
In that cell, the table lists 1.6.
Interpreting the number
A rate of 1.6 per 1,000 per year means that, in 1930, about 1.6 people out of every 1,000 in the U. S. got divorced during that year.
