Answer :
Americans eat about 0.0767 pounds of bananas per day on average.
To calculate the average pounds of bananas eaten per day, you need to divide the total yearly consumption by the number of days in a year.
- Total bananas eaten per year: 28 pounds
- Number of days in a year: 365
- Average bananas eaten per day = Total bananas per year / Number of days in a year
= 28 / 365
= 0.0767 pounds per day
- Therefore, on average, Americans eat about 0.0767 pounds of bananas each day.
- The average person eats half of a ton of food each year. If you live to age 87, that amounts to a considerable amount of food!
