Answer:

Explanation:

1 Ton is equivalent to 2204.62 pounds

and 200 billion = 200.000.000.000 pounds

So, if we want to know how many tons there are in 200 billion pounds, We must apply a simple rule of three.

Then

1 Ton -------------------------2204.62 pounds

X -------------------------200.000.000.000 pounds


X=(1 ton * 200.000.000.000 pounds)/(2204.62 pounds) =90.718.581,89 tons

So, We can say that United States exports over 90 million tons of coal
