Official Solution:
Statement 1:
China produces 1200, while the other countries together produce 87 + 13 + 5 + 34 = 139. 1200 > 139, so this statement is true.
Statement 2:
Canada’s aluminum production is 32 and its steel + copper production is 13 + 0.7 = 13.7. 32 > 13.7, so this statement is true.
Statement 3:
Brazil’s total metal output is 39, while one third of the US’s total metal output is 1⁄3 * 126 = 42. 39 < 42, so this statement is false.
Correct answer:
China produces more steel than all other mentioned countries combined. "True"
Canada's aluminum production exceeds its steel and copper production combined. "True"
Brazil's total metal output is more than a third of the US's total metal output. "False"
