Explanation / Answer

2. Rate of natural gas:

country1 = 59345934 x 109 / 288288 x 106 = 205856.4144 (Highest)

country2 = 383.7383.7 x 109 / 182182 x 106 = 210634.6236

country3 = 185.4185.4 x 109 / 111111 x 106 = 166876.8528

3. Relative increase = Absolute increase / Old value

Relative increase of country A = (41,61741,617 - 32,13132,131) / 32,13132,131 = 948609486/3213132,131

= 0.2952

Relative increase of country B = 3062430,624 - 2461224,612 / 2461224,612 = 601206012 / 2461224612 = 0.2442

Relative increase of country C = 74307,430 - 19661,966 / 19661,966 = 54645464 /19661,966 = 2.7792 Highest

Relative increase of country D =11791179 - 755755 / 755755 = 11035424 / 755755 = 14.6018 highest
