Brazils people who percent more than half of the population in South America true or false
True. As of 2021, Brazil has the largest population among all the countries in South America, accounting for more than half of the continent's population.
True.
False. Brazil does have the largest population in South America, but it does not account for more than half of the continent's population. To confirm this, we can follow these steps:
1. Look up the total population of South America.
2. Find the population of Brazil.
3. Calculate the percentage of Brazil's population in relation to the total South American population.
According to the latest data, as of 2021, the estimated population of South America is approximately 430 million. Brazil, on the other hand, has a population of around 215 million.
To calculate the percentage, we divide Brazil's population by the total population of South America, and then multiply by 100:
(215 million / 430 million) * 100 = 50%
So, Brazil's population represents approximately 50% of the total population of South America, which means it does not account for more than half. Therefore, the statement is false.
