Hello here is a solution :
The total land available in the US = 3.794 million square miles which is 3,794,000 square miles
The land used for food production is 650, 000 square miles
To find the percentage used in food production, we divide the land used in food production by the total land and multiply the quotient by 100.
Percent for food =
(650, 000/3, 794, 000) * 100
Percentages land used for food
= 17.13%
It would be lesser than because 1 × any number is that number so if you multiply by anything less then 1, you'll get something less then the number you started with.
Ex: 5 × 1/4 = 1 1/4
There is a higher chance that person is male by one in 39. Hope this helps!!!
Answer:
The area after 9 years will be 1,234 km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating what the area of a certain forest that decreases at a certain percentage would be after some years.
To answer this question, we shall be using an exponential approximation.
Now, to use this exponential approximation, we shall be needing a supporting exponential mathematical equation.
This can be written as;
A = I(1-r)^t
where A is the new area we are looking for
I is the initial area which is 1700 according to the question
r is the rate of decrease which is 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035
t is time which is 9 years according to the question
We plug these values and have the following;
A = 1700(1-0.035)^9
A = 1700(0.965)^9
A = 1,233.66
This is 1,234 km^2 to the nearest square kilometer
