Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Estimate GDP values from graph
From the graph, Germany's GDP is around $3$ trillion, Japan's is around $6$ trillion, India's is around $2$ trillion, China's is around $12$ trillion and US's is around $16$ trillion.
Step2: Check each statement
- For "China's economy is more than four - times the size of Germany's": $4\times3 = 12$, China's GDP is around $12$ trillion, not more than four - times Germany's.
- For "China's economy is more than twice the size of Japan's": $2\times6=12$, China's GDP is around $12$ trillion, so it is more than twice Japan's.
- For "China's economy is half the size of India's": $2\times12\neq2$, this is false.
- For "China's economy is twice the size of the United States'": $2\times12\neq16$, this is false.
Answer:
China's economy is more than twice the size of Japan's.
