Answer:  1.3\times 10^{10} pounds

Explanation:

Given:

Number of Americans = 325 million =325\times 10^6

Average american consumes meat = 18 kg per year

325 million american consumes meat = \frac{18}{1}\times 325\times 10^6=585\times 10^7kg per year

The conversion used from kg to pounds:

1 kg = 2.205 lb

585\times 10^7kg=\frac{2.205}{1}\times 585\times 10^7=1289.925\times 10^7lb

Thus 1.3\times 10^{10} pounds of meat is consumed by the total U.S. population every year.
