question #2:
by january 2014, the us population had grown to 317.3 million and the us federal debt was a reported $17.3 trillion. calculate the beginning-2014 federal debt per capita.

Answer 1:
The total land available in the U.S = 3.794 million square miles which is 3,794,000 square miles
The land used for food production is 650,000 square miles

To find the percentage used in food production, we divide the land used in food production by the total land and multiply the quotient by 100.
Percentage for food = (650,000/3,794,000) * 100
Percentage of land used for food = 17.13%

Answer 2:
In order to calculate the Federal Debt per capita, we simply divide the total debt by the number of people. This gives:
Federal Debt per capita = 17,300,000,000 / 317,300,000
Federal Debt per capita = $54.52
