Directions: The following table shows the production of rice (in million tonnes) of three states over six years. | States | Years | | --- | --- | | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | | A | 5.2 | 5.4 | 5.8 | 6.2 | 6.5 | 6.9 | | B | 3.8 | 4.1 | 4.4 | 4.8 | 5.2 | 5.7 | | C | 4.5 | 5.2 | 5.8 | 6.4 | 6.7 | 7.4 | What is the ratio of the production of rice in all 3 states in the year 2014 to that in 2016?

First sum the rice production for all three states in 2014 by adding 6.2, 4.8, and 6.4 to get 17.4 million tonnes. Next sum the production for 2016 by adding 6.9, 5.7, and 7.4 to get 20 million tonnes. Divide both values by 0.2 to convert them into whole numbers, resulting in the ratio 87 to 100. The result is 87 to 100.
