Question

The area of the U.S. is about 3.931 million square miles. Approximately 570000 square miles are worked for food production. What percent of the U.S. is worked for food production?

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Just estimating, about 15%

% = Land used for food production/ Total Area * 100

% = (570000 / 3.931 * 10^6) * 100%

% = 14.5%
