To solve this problem, we need to understand what the table represents. It is a
lookup table (often called a reference chart).
* The
top row shows "Years" (14, 15, 16, 17, 18+).
* The
left column shows "Months" (0 through 11).
* The numbers inside the grid are the values associated with a specific combination of Years and Months.
Since you didn't ask a specific question (like "What is the value for 15 years and 3 months?"), I will explain exactly how to read this table so you can find any answer you need for your homework.
Step-by-Step Guide to Reading the Table
1.
Identify the "Years": Look at the top horizontal row. Find the column that matches the number of years in your problem.
* Example: If the problem says
16 years, look at the column labeled
16.
2.
Identify the "Months": Look at the left vertical column. Find the row that matches the number of months in your problem.
* Example: If the problem says
3 months, look at the row labeled
3.
3.
Find the Intersection: Trace down from the "Years" column and trace across from the "Months" row. The number where they meet is your answer.
Let's Try an Example Together
Let's find the value for
15 Years and 8 Months.
1.
Find the Year Column: Go to the top and find
15. This is the second column of numbers.
2.
Find the Month Row: Go to the left side and find
8. This is the 9th row of numbers (since it starts at 0).
3.
Look at the Box Where They Meet:
* Go down the
15 column: 37, 37, 37, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38,
39...
* Go across the
8 row: 36,
39, 41, 42, 42...
* The number where they cross is
39.
So, for 15 Years and 8 Months, the value is
39.
Another Example
Let's find the value for
17 Years and 0 Months.
1.
Find the Year Column: Find
17 at the top.
2.
Find the Month Row: Find
0 on the left (the very first row).
3.
Look at the Box Where They Meet: The number in the top row under 17 is
41.
So, for 17 Years and 0 Months, the value is
41.
Key Things to Notice
* The "Months" start at
0, not 1. So the first row is for 0 months old.
* The last column is
18+. This means anyone who is 18 years or older uses that column, no matter how many months.
* As years and months increase, the numbers in the table generally get larger.

Final Answer:
This is a lookup table. To find a value:
1. Find the
Year in the top row.
2. Find the
Month in the left column.
3. The number where that column and row intersect is the answer.
*(Example: For 15 Years and 8 Months, the answer is 39.)*
