Taking into account the change of units, a particular forest is 4,048.58 hectares.
<h3>Definition of rule of three</h3>
The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.
If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, the direct rule of three must be applied using the following formula, where a, b and c known data and x the variable to be calculated:
a ⇒ b
c ⇒ x
So: x= (c×b)÷ a
The direct rule of three is the rule applied in this case where there is a change of units.
<h3>Size in hectareas</h3>
To perform in this case the conversion of units, you must first know that 1 hectare = 2.47 acres.
So, the rule of three can be used as follow: if 2.47 acres is 1 hectare, 10,000 acres equals how many hectares?
2.47 acres ⇒ 1 hectare
10,000 acres ⇒ x
So: x= (10,000 acres ×1 hectare)÷ 2.47 acres
Solving:
<u><em>x= 4,048.58 hetares</em></u>
In summary, a particular forest is 4,048.58 hectares.
