...........................'000 tonnes

USSR...........................139.82

Australia......................64.82

Brazil.........................48.77

USA...............................46.78

China............................36.00If the five countries produced 3335,990 tonnes of iron ore, what percentage was produced by the USSR?

Answer Details

To find the percentage of iron ore produced by the USSR in 1975, we need to divide the USSR's iron ore output by the total iron ore output of the five countries, and then multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage. The total iron ore output of the five countries is given as 333.590 thousand tonnes. So, the percentage of iron ore produced by the USSR is: (139.82 / 333.590) x 100 = 41.614% Therefore, the answer is 41.614%.
