Answer 2

we are given

The public debt of the Apex Republic is 6,578,116,932,196,034 Apex dollars

so, we get

$ARD=6578116932196034$

gross domestic product (GDP) is 19,338,189,233,851,794

$GDP=19338189233851794$

now, we can find ratio

$\frac{ARD}{GDP}=\frac{6578116932196034}{19338189233851794}$

now, we can simplify it

$\frac{ARD}{GDP}=\frac{164453}{483455}$

$\frac{ARD}{GDP}=0.34016$ ................Answer
