Freeport McMoRan projects that in 2010 world grain supply will be 1.8 trillion metric tons and the supply will be only 3/4 of world grain demand. What will world grain demand be in 2010?
---------------------
Let world grain demand in 2010 be "x".
Equation:
(3/4)x = 1.8 trillion metric tons
x = (4/3)*1.8
x = 2.4 trillion metric tons
