Ответ:
1) A person would need approximately 51 years to eat 855 pounds of apples.
2) A person would need approximately 69 years to eat 1120 pounds of turkey.
3) 6 people in the United States will eat 1260 quarts in next 5 years.
4) The statement is a nonsense.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) According to the German page Statista, a person in the United States had a per capita consumption of 16.91 pounds of fresh apples in 2018/19. If we consider that a person consume at same rate, then the time taken is obtained by dividing total amount of fresh apples by per capita consumption rate:
A person would need approximately 51 years to eat 855 pounds of apples.
2) According to the German page Statista, a person in the United States had a per capita consumption of 16.40 pounds of turkey in 2018/19. If we consider that a person consume at same rate, then the time taken is obtained by dividing total amount of turkey by per capita consumption rate:
A person would need approximately 69 years to eat 1120 pounds of turkey.
3) Accoring to the US page Aghires, a person in the United States had a per capita consumption of 42 quarts of pop corn in 2017/2018. The total consumption of the groups equals the product of number of people, time and per capita consumption. That is:
6 people in the United States will eat 1260 quarts in next 5 years.
4) According to the US newspaper The South Florida Reporter, a person in the United States had a per capita consumption of 53 pounds of bread in 2017/2018. Consumption during 80 years can be estimated by knowing the product of time and per capita consumption. That is:
Which is only equivalent to about 10 % of the alleged indicator and, consequently, the statement is a nonsense.
