Answer:

In 2.25 years the U.S, will produce 82125000 tons of fruit

Explanation:

Ratio:

36.5 million tons : 1 year

f tons : 2.25 years

Since 2.25 ÷ 1 = 2.25, we need to multiply 36.5 million by 2.25

36.5 million = 36500000

36500000 · 2.25 = 82125000

f = 82125000

I usually break it down so 2.25 is 2 1/4 so then a 36.5 million is basically 36m 1/2 36+36 is 72+1 is 73 and a 1/4 of 36 is 9 and that's it just right your answer put using the info here and it should be right if not pls let me know so I can figure out what I did wrong and try again
