In a recent year , the world production of wheat was about 5.2x10^8 metric tons. Canada produced 1/25 of this wheat. About how much wheat did Canada produce?
A 20.8x10^8
B 2.08x10^7
C 2.08x10^6
D 20.8x10^7
Is the answer B?
yes
Alright thanks
To find out the amount of wheat that Canada produced, we need to divide the world production of wheat by 25. Here are the step-by-step calculations:
World production of wheat = 5.2x10^8 metric tons
Canada's production = (1/25) * (5.2x10^8 metric tons)
To simplify this calculation, we can divide both numbers by 25:
Canada's production = (5.2x10^8 metric tons) / 25
= 2.08x10^7 metric tons
Therefore, the amount of wheat Canada produced is 2.08x10^7 metric tons.
So, the correct answer is B) 2.08x10^7.
To calculate the amount of wheat Canada produced, we need to find 1/25 of the total world production of wheat.
Given: The world production of wheat = 5.2x10^8 metric tons
To find 1/25 of this amount, we divide the total world production by 25:
(5.2x10^8 metric tons) / 25 = 2.08x10^7 metric tons
Therefore, Canada produced approximately 2.08x10^7 metric tons of wheat.
So, the answer is B.
