In the united states a person ears more than 40,000 pounds of bread in a lifetime if he or she lives to be 80 years old. does this statement make sense, or is it nonsense? explain.

A reality check quickly reveals that even if "eats" were spelled properly, the statement would still be nonsense.

Step-by-step explanation:

(40,000 pounds / 80 years) = (4,000 pounds / 8 years) = 500 pounds per year

500 pounds of bread per year = an average of a little more than 1-1/3 pound of bread per day, every day of a person's life.  My reality meter says that this is a bit much, especially in the USA.
