Suppose, in 2010, the population of the United States was 311,000,000 people and the US population ate 14,517 thousand metric tons of beef per year. In the same year, the world population was 6,853,000,000 people and the world population consumed 475,157 thousand metric tons of beef per year.
if the entire population of the world ate beef at the same rate per person as the United States, then the world consumption rate would be
