Answer:

The United States could trade Canada 20 pounds of food for 17 televisions.

The US receives TV at a rate of 17/20 = 0.85 which is higher than their opportunity cost therefore, making a gain

While Canada receive TV at a rate lower than their economy can produce them (0.85<0.9090) thus, also making a gain

Explanation:

US

100 television or 150 pounds of food

Opportunity cost: of TV 1.5 pounds of food

Opportunity cost of food: 2/3 of a TV

CANADA

300 televisions or 330 food

Opportunity cost: of TV 1.1 pounds of food

Opportunity cost of food: 90/99 of a TV

It is cheaper for canada to produce TV and cheaper for the US to produce food.
