Answer:

1438.6 days

Explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

228,000 people get infected per day. Hence, how long it would take for 328,000,000 people to be infected is calculated as:

228,000 people = 1 day

328,000,000 people = x days

Cross Multiply

228,000 people × x days = 328,000,000 people × 1 day

x days = 328,000,000 people × 1 day/228,000 people

x days = 1438.5964912 days

Approximately = 1438.6 days

Therefore, it would take 1438.6 days for 328,000,000 people to be infected.
