What would be the total weight of all humans on Earth combined, approximately, if the average weight of a human is 40 kg and the population is 8 billion?

Correct answer: B. 320 billion kg

  • A. 7 billion kg
  • B. 320 billion kg
  • C. 320 million kg
  • D. 2 billion kg

Explanation

The total weight of all humans on Earth can be calculated by multiplying the average weight of a person, 40 kg, by the global population, 8 billion. This gives us a total of 320 billion kg. Option A, 7 billion kg, suggests an average weight of less than 1 kg, which is far too low. Option C, 320 million kg, implies an average weight of 0.04 kg per person, which is not possible. Option D, 2 billion kg, assumes an average weight of 0.25 kg per person, which is also incorrect.
