People in China emit 40 times more CO2 per person that they do in the world's poorest countries.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
The U.S. emits 5 times more CO2 per person than people in China, and 200 times more than people in the poorest countries, so 200/5 = 40. Think of it in this way, if per capita use in the U.S. is 200 units/yr, then per capita use in China is 200/5 = 40, and per capita use in the poorest countries is 200/200 = 1. So China emits 40 (40/1) times more per capita than the poorest countries.
