Answer:
Family life is changing. Two-parent households are on the decline in the United States as divorce, remarriage and cohabitation are on the rise. And families are smaller now, both due to the growth of single-parent households and the drop in fertility. Not only are Americans having fewer children, but the circumstances surrounding parenthood have changed. While in the early 1960s babies typically arrived within a marriage, today fully four-in-ten births occur to women who are single or living with a non-marital partner. At the same time that family structures have transformed, so has the role of mothers in the workplace – and in the home. As more moms have entered the labor force, more have become breadwinners – in many cases, primary breadwinners – in their families.
As a result of these changes, there is no longer one dominant family form in the U.S. Parents today are raising their children against a backdrop of increasingly diverse and, for many, constantly evolving family forms. By contrast, in 1960, the height of the post-World War II baby boom, there was one dominant family form. At that time 73% of all children were living in a family with two married parents in their first marriage. By 1980, 61% of children were living in this type of family, and today less than half (46%) are. The declining share of children living in what is often deemed a “traditional” family has been largely supplanted by the rising shares of children living with single or cohabiting parents.

Answer:
6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns
Explanation:
The indifference curves follow the 45-degree so the ratio for the hot dog:bun will be 1:1. Each package of hot dog gives 8 hot dogs while each package of the bun gives 8 hot dog buns. The ratio of hot dog package: buns package that Sue needs will be:
(number of hot dogs every package)/ (number of buns every package) * (ratio of hot dog : bun)
8/8 * 1/1= 1
The optimal choice package ratio is 1:1, then the amount of food Sue can buy will be: 48$/ (1*$5 + 1*$3)= $48/$8= 6 package.
The optimal choice is 6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns
