in recent year, the world production of wheat was about 5.2 *10^8 metric tons. Canada produced 1/25 of this wheat. about how much wheat did Canada produce?
1/25 = 4/100
4 * 5.2 * 10^8 / 100
= 20.8 * 10^8/100
= 20.8 * 10^6
= 2.08 * 10^7 tons
To calculate how much wheat Canada produced, we need to find 1/25 of the world's wheat production.
Given that the world production of wheat was about 5.2 * 10^8 metric tons, we can calculate Canada's production as follows:
Canada's wheat production = (World's wheat production) × (1/25)
= 5.2 * 10^8 metric tons × (1/25)
To simplify the calculation, we can cancel out the common factor of 25:
Canada's wheat production = 5.2 * 10^8 metric tons / 25
= 2.08 * 10^8 metric tons
Therefore, Canada produced approximately 2.08 * 10^8 metric tons of wheat.
