Answer:

About 186.7 million people know who is the president of the United States.

Explanation:

The number of US people who know who the vice president is (Mike Pence in 2020):

$x = (2)/(3)\cdot (280* 10^(6)\,people)$

$x = 186.667* 10^(6)\,people$

About 186.7 million people know who is the president of the United States.

Answer:

186,666,667 Americans know who the vice president is

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of USA citizens that know who the vice president is.

Now, in this question, we are made to know that the total population is set at 280 million with 2 out of three knowing who the vice president is.

What this means is that a fraction of the population at 2/3 knows who the vice president is

This fraction is equal to; 2/3 * 280,000,000 = 186,666,666.66666666

This is approximately equal to 186,666,667 people
