Answer
153.85 kg
The correct answer is 153.85 kg — Round to two decimals to get the final answer.
Step-by-step solution
- Convert tonnes to kilograms: (200,\text{million}\times 1000 = 200,000,000,000) kg.
- Divide total kilograms by population: (200,000,000,000 div 1,300,000,000 = 153.85) kg per person.
- Round to two decimals to get the final answer.
Common mistake: Forgetting to convert tonnes to kilograms before division
