It's the new educational standards. The answers don't have to be correct. They just have to "try". So if they say the 44,449 > 48,183, just accept it.I was never an Einstein at math, but something is off with these numbers, unless US population went down. What am I missing? Of course, the numbers are from a report published by the CDC, so maybe it all makes sense.
"An estimated 44,449 people committed suicide in 2022, which is 3% higher than the 48,183 people who did so in 2021 - the previous high, according to a Wednesday report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics."
