Answer :
To determine the accuracy of each of the given statements, let's compare the relevant categories of water use data provided in the table.
1. Statement: "More water was used to farm aquatic organisms than to make products."
- Water used to farm aquatic organisms: [tex]\( 9,420 \)[/tex] million gallons/day
- Water used in industrial processes (to make products): [tex]\( 15,900 \)[/tex] million gallons/day
Comparison:
[tex]\[ 9,420 \text{ (farming aquatic organisms)} < 15,900 \text{ (industrial use)} \][/tex]
Therefore, Statement 1 is False.
2. Statement: "More water was used to make products than to produce electricity."
- Water used in industrial processes (to make products): [tex]\( 15,900 \)[/tex] million gallons/day
- Water used in electricity production: [tex]\( 161,000 \)[/tex] million gallons/day
Comparison:
[tex]\[ 15,900 \text{ (industrial use)} < 161,000 \text{ (electricity production)} \][/tex]
Therefore, Statement 2 is False.
3. Statement: "More water was used to produce electricity than to grow crops."
- Water used in electricity production: [tex]\( 161,000 \)[/tex] million gallons/day
- Water used for irrigation (to grow crops): [tex]\( 115,000 \)[/tex] million gallons/day
Comparison:
[tex]\[ 161,000 \text{ (electricity production)} > 115,000 \text{ (irrigation)} \][/tex]
Therefore, Statement 3 is True.
4. Statement: "More water was used to grow crops than to mine land resources."
- Water used for irrigation (to grow crops): [tex]\( 115,000 \)[/tex] million gallons/day
- Water used in mining: [tex]\( 5,320 \)[/tex] million gallons/day
Comparison:
[tex]\[ 115,000 \text{ (irrigation)} > 5,320 \text{ (mining)} \][/tex]
Therefore, Statement 4 is True.
Summarizing these analyses, we arrive at the final accuracy of each statement:
1. "More water was used to farm aquatic organisms than to make products." False
2. "More water was used to make products than to produce electricity." False
3. "More water was used to produce electricity than to grow crops." True
4. "More water was used to grow crops than to mine land resources." True
