Given:
Total forest area = 52000 acres
Area of old growth trees in the forest = 0.4%
To find:
The area of old growth trees.
Solution:
We have,
Total forest area = 52000 acres
Area of old growth trees in the forest = 0.4%
Area of old growth trees is
[tex]Area=0.4\% \text{ of total forest area}[/tex]
[tex]Area=\dfrac{0.4}{100}\times 52000[/tex]
[tex]Area=0.4\times 520[/tex]
[tex]Area=208[/tex]
Therefore, the area of old growth trees is 208 acres.
