Answer:
Attached to this solution is an image of the complete question and data.
The correct answer is:
6 million pairs of shoes
Explanation:
From the diagram attached to this answer, the following data can be gotten:
Watermelons shoes
(Millions of tonnes) (Millions of pairs)
0 15
8 14
14 12
18 9
20 5
21 0
From the pattern of the data shown above, we notice that as the production of one commodity increases, the other is given up (decreases)
Therefore, to find how much shoes are given up if Capeland switches from 0 watermelons to 18 million tons of watermelon, we will find the difference between the number of shoes produced at 0 and at 18 million tons of watermelon
at 0 watermelon; shoes = 15 million pairs
at 18 million tons of watermelon; shoes = 9 million pairs
Therefore, number of shoes given up = 15 - 9 = 6 million pairs
Hence, 6 million pairs of shoes are given up tp increase production of watermelon from 0 to 18 million tons
