Answer to a math question In recent years a state produced 935,000,000 pounds of turkey. This was 12.2 % of the US total in that year. Calculate the US total Turkey production for that year. Round to nearest billion pounds
1. Let $x$ be the US total turkey production in pounds.
2. Set up the equation 935,000,000 = 0.122x.
3. Solve for $x$: x = \frac{935,000,000}{0.122}.
4. Calculate: x \approx 7,663,934,426.23.
5. Round to the nearest billion pounds: 8 \text{ billion pounds}. So, the answer is $8 \text{ billion pounds}$.
