• c. 630 billion kg
• d. 130 billion kg

i need the explanation of how to get to the answer please

Respuesta :

Current world population is 7.64 billion.

Number of people in developed nations :

[tex]n = \dfrac{7.64\times 17}{100}\\\\n=1.3\ billion[/tex]

Now, per person in developed country eats 100 kg of meat .

So, 1.3 Billion people will eat :

[tex]M =1.3\times 100\ billion\ kg\\\\M=130\ billion\ kg[/tex]

Therefore, meat consumed in the developed world in 1 year is 130 billion kg.

Hence, this is the required solution.
