Question

Estimates of early Native American hunter-gather societies indicated that a person could

Answer 1

Other assumptions associated with this question are as follows:

• One person can feed on 1 hen/day for a year
• 1 hen must east 25 grasshoppers /day
• the total mass of 1000 grasshoppers is 1kg
• 600 grasshoppers are needed to feed 1 human per day

Grasshoppers is represented as Gh.

The total amount needed to feed the hen per year is:

• 25 x 365= 9,125 Gh/Year

• If expressed in Kg, then it would be 9,125/1000 which is
• = 9.125Kg/annum.

So if the farmer chose to live on grasshoppers rather than on hens, the calculation is given as follows:

• (90 kg/1 hour) x (24 hours/1 day) x (1 person/ 600 Gh)

The amount of Grasshoppers required is given as follows;

If the farmer can gather 90 Gh in one hour then,

• The total amount of Gh per day is 90 x 24 = 2,160
• the total amount of Gh available in a year is 2160 x 365 = 788,400 Gh/Year
• If 600 grasshoppers are quired to feed the human per day, then we work backward
• The total amount of Gh available in a day is 788,400/365. This is equal to 2160 Gh
• The total amount of people this can feed is given as 2,160/600
• Which is equal to 3.6 persons.

Since humans or people cannot be divided into fractions like a measure of sugar or a measure of liquid, the answer is best left to the most approximate digit with it 4 Persons.
