Answer 1

The correct question is
A​ country's people consume 6.3 billion pounds of candy​ (excluding chewing​ gum) per year. Express this quantity in terms of pounds per person per month. Note that the population of the country is 301 million.

we know that
1 billion------------------> 1000000000 (Thousand Million)=1 x 10^9
then
6.3 billion pounds--------------> 6.3 x 10^9 pounds
[pounds of candy per person per year]=[6.3 x 10^9 pounds]/[301 x 10^6]

[pounds of candy per person per year]=20.93 pounds per person per year

[pounds of candy per person per month]=20.93/12=1.74 pounds per person per month

the answer is 1.74 pounds per person per month
