Compare two variables each time
Per capita means per head or per person.
now, if a country has a small GDP hmmm say for the sake of example, $1000, and it has 1000 residents, then the per capita is $1000/1000 or a buck each.
now, $1000 is a really tiny GDP, but, if the population is say hmm 20 folks only, then the per capita amount is $1000/20, or $50 per person, now, that's a large "per capita" figure, more so than $1 per person, even though the GDP never changed, it was all along $1000.
so, if the population is comparitively small, the per capita is large, I think a good example of that is Switzerland.
sidenote:
bear in mind that per capita figures are very misleading, since you could have a tiny portion of the population making huge amounts and others making little, like in the US, and the per capita is very inaccurate to reflect the economy wealth distribution.
The question is:
A cake recipe calls for 550 grams of flour. About how many pounds of flour do you need? Use the conversion factors (1 ounce)/(28.4 grams) and (1 pound)/(16 ounces).
Answer:
About 1.2 pounds of flour is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the cake recipe calls for 550 grams, we want to determine about how many pounds of flour we need.
This simply means we want to convert 550 grams to pounds.
First, we were given (1 ounce)/(28.4 grams)
This implies that
1/28.4 = x/550 ..............................(1)
Where x is 550 grams in ounce.
Solving (1)
28.4x = 550
=> x = 550/28.4
≈ 19.3662
That is 550 grams is equal to 19.3662 ounce
Next, we are given the ratio (1 pound)/(16 ounce). We then convert 19.3662 ounce to pound
Let y be 19.3662 ounce in pound
=> 1/16 = y/19.3662
16y = 19.3662
y = 19.3662/16
≈ 1.2
That is 19.3662 ounce is equal to 1.2 pounds.
Therefore, 550 grams is equal to 1.2 pounds, and it is the amount of flour needed.

There least common factor would be 5 since they are all divisible by 5.
