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