Explanation::

As Minnesota produced $$\frac{2}{3}$$ and Michigan produced $$\frac{1}{6}$$, therefore the remaining state = $$\frac{1}{6}$$ = 18 million

Now , Minnesota produced $$\frac{2}{3}$$ i.e. = $$\frac{4}{6}$$ = 4 * 18 = 72 Million ( $$\frac{2}{3}$$= can also be written as $$\frac{4}{6}$$ and $$\frac{1}{6}$$ = 18 million)
