The correct question is
A country's people consume 6.3 billion pounds of candy (excluding chewing gum) per year. Express this quantity in terms of pounds per person per month. Note that the population of the country is 301 million.

we know that
1 billion> 1000000000 (Thousand Million)=1 x 10^9
then
6.3 billion pounds> 6.3 x 10^9 pounds
[pounds of candy per person per year]=[6.3 x 10^9 pounds]/[301 x 10^6]

[pounds of candy per person per year]=20.93 pounds per person per year

[pounds of candy per person per month]=20.93/12=1.74 pounds per person per month

the answer is 1.74 pounds per person per month
