GDP1. What country has the largest column? What are the reasons that you think that this country has the

highest amount?• The U.S. has the largest column. I think this country has the highest amount because it is a developed

country that has a lot of money.2. What country has the smallest/lowest? What reasons would cause this country to have a low amount?• The countries that have the lowest are Lithuania, Togo, and Haiti. I think they have the lowest amount

because they are developing countries. Countries that are still developing tend to not have a lot of money. They are very poor countries and can’t pay for many things.

Also, over half of their population, which is 114,975,406 people, is in poverty (51.3%).
