Question

The united states is home to less than 5% of the globe's population but uses about ____ of the oil, coal, and natural gas produced globally.

Answer 1

The answer that best completes the blank above is 1/5.Given that the United States only comprises less than 5% of the globe's population, it uses about 1/5 of the coil, oil, and natural gas that are being produced globally. This equates to approximately 7.19 billion barrels of these products. The reason behind this is that the United States is one of the top countries in the world. They had to utilize so much oil for business and transportation for different kinds of vehicles and also for machines.
