    7.2 billion Ibs of candy in 12 months in a country that has 305 million people.

    7.2 billion/12 to see how much candy is consumed in one month by the population.

    then you would divide the answer which is 600 million by the population to see how much candy is consumed per person.

    600,000,000/305,000,000 = about 1.967

    So, in one month, a person consumes about 1.967 Ibs of candy a month.
