Select the letter of the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5264 x $10^{7}$

Explanation:

The metric ton is used as a unit of mass. The metric ton in British units can be represented as 2240 pounds or long ton whereas in United state is termed as 1.102 short ton.

In the given question, it has been mentioned that the growers around the world produce about 3.2 x $10^{7}$ a metric ton of sunflower.

So the short ton produced will be

= ( 3.2 x $10^{7}$ ) x 1.102

= 3.5264 x $10^{7}$ short ton.

Thus, 3.5264 x $10^{7}$ is the correct answer.
