Question

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

Answer 1

Solution: The amount of wheat produced by the world
`=5.2 * 10^(8)` metric tons.

We know that
`5.2 * 10^8=520,000,000`

We are given that Canada produced
`(1)/(25)` of world production.

Therefore, the amount of wheat produced by Canada is:

`(1)/(25) of 520,000,000=(1)/(25) * 520,000,000`

`=20,800,000`

`=2.08 * 10^(7)` metric tons

Hence the
`2.08 * 10^(7)` metric tons are produced by Canada.
