Sure! Let's analyze the rates of industrial decline for each country and determine which country faced the least and the most decline during the Great Depression.
Here are the rates of industrial decline:
- United States: 46.8%
- Great Britain: 16.2%
- Germany: 41.8%
- France: 31.3%
- Sweden: 10.3%
First, to find the country with the least decline, we look for the smallest percentage in the given data.
The rates of decline are as follows:
- 46.8% (United States)
- 16.2% (Great Britain)
- 41.8% (Germany)
- 31.3% (France)
- 10.3% (Sweden)
Among these percentages, the smallest value is 10.3%, which corresponds to Sweden. Thus, Sweden's industrial production declined the least.
Next, to find the country with the most decline, we look for the largest percentage in the given data.
The rates of decline are as follows:
- 46.8% (United States)
- 16.2% (Great Britain)
- 41.8% (Germany)
- 31.3% (France)
- 10.3% (Sweden)
Among these percentages, the largest value is 46.8%, which corresponds to the United States. Thus, the United States' industrial production declined the most.
Summary:
- Sweden's industrial production declined the least during the Great Depression with a rate of 10.3%.
- The United States' industrial production declined the most during the Great Depression with a rate of 46.8%.
