Answer:
On average the size of the area of the forest burnt down every minute is 10117.14 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The rate consumption of forest land by the fire = 25200 acres/week
Therefore, we have;
The number of minutes in one week = 60 × 24 × 7 = 10080 minutes
Therefore;
The rate consumption of forest land by the fire per minute = 25200/10080 acres/minute = 2.5 acres/minute
The number of square meters in one acre is given as follows;
1 acre = 4,046.856 m²
Therefore;
2.5 acres/minute = (2.5 × 4,046.856 m²/(1 acre)) acres/minute = 10117.14 m²/minute
Which give;
The rate consumption of forest land by the fire= 10117.14 m²/minute.
The rate of the fire consumption of the forest is 10117.14 m²/minute.
