SELECT name,gdp/population 
FROM world
WHERE population>=200000000

4.Show the name and population in millions for the countries of the continent ‘South America’. Divide the population by 1000000 to get population in millions.

SELECT name,population,area 
FROM world

FROM world
WHERE area>3000000 xor population>250000000

9.Show the name and population in millions and the GDP in billions for the countries of the continent ‘South America’. Use the ROUND function to show the values to two decimal places.

For South America show population in millions and GDP in billions both to 2 decimal places.

FROM world
WHERE continent='South America'

10.Show the name and per-capita GDP for those countries with a GDP of at least one trillion (1000000000000; that is 12 zeros). Round this value to the nearest 1000.

Show per-capita GDP for the trillion dollar countries to the nearest $1000.

FROM world
WHERE gdp>=1000000000000

11.Greece has capital Athens.

FROM world
where LEFT(name,1) = LEFT(capital,1)
  and name <> capital;

13.Equatorial Guinea and Dominican Republic have all of the vowels (a e i o u) in the name. They don’t count because they have more than one word in the name.
