1. The country with the largest standing army was ______.

2. The country with the largest number of reservists was ______.

3. Which country had almost three times as many warships as France? [tex]$\square$[/tex]


Sagot :

To determine which country had almost three times as many warships as France, we begin by finding the number of warships France possessed. According to the table, France had 62 warships.

Next, we calculate what "almost three times" of 62 is. Multiplying 62 by 3 gives us:
[tex]\[ 62 \times 3 = 186 \][/tex]

Now we need to check the number of warships each country had and see if any country has a warship count close to 186. We have:

- Austria-Hungary: 28 warships
- France: 62 warships
- Germany: 97 warships
- Great Britain: 185 warships
- Russia: 30 warships

Upon examining the numbers, we see that Great Britain has 185 warships, which is very close to 186 (just 1 less).

Thus, the country with almost three times as many warships as France, having a count close to 186 warships, is Great Britain.
