ok thanks Ms.Sue

You're welcome, Sheila.

To determine the correct answer, we need to find the ratio between the population of the United States and Canada.

The population of the United States is given as 318 million, while the population of Canada is given as 35 million.

To find the ratio between the two populations, we divide the population of the United States by the population of Canada: 318 million / 35 million = 9.0857.

Now, we compare this ratio to the answer choices given:

A. one-half: 0.5
B. one-fourth: 0.25
C. one-eighth: 0.125
D. one-ninth (calculated): 0.1111 (rounded to four decimal places)

As we can see, the calculated ratio of 9.0857 does not match any of the answer choices exactly. However, it is closest to option D, one-ninth (0.1111). Therefore, the correct answer is D. one-ninth.
