Answer 1

Average number of gallons of fruit juice consumed per person in the country in 2006 is 7.16

Explanation:

Given:

Total consumption of fruit juice = 2.15 billion gallons

Population of the country = 300 million

Average number of gallons of fruit juice consumed per person in the country would be:

$Average = \frac{Total}{Number}$

We know,

1 billion = 1000 millions

So, 2.15 billions = 2.15 X 1000 millions

                          = 2150 millions

$Average = \frac{2150}{300} \\\\Average = 7.16$

Therefore, average number of gallons of fruit juice consumed per person in the country in 2006 is 7.16
