Answer:

The U.S population is 4.42% of the world population.

Explanation:

The population is U.S = 314 million

World population = 7.1 billion

Let's convert 7.1 billion to million.

1 billion = 1000 million

NOw multiply 7.1 billion by 1000 to get million.

7.1 billion = 7.1*1000 million = 7100 million

Percent = (U.S population / World population)*100

Percent of U.S population =
(314)/(7100) *100

= 314/71

= 4.42%

Therefore, the U.S population is 4.42% of the world population.
