Question

A forest covers 69,000 acres. A survey finds that 0.6​% of the forest is​ old-growth trees. How many acres of​ old-growth trees are​ there?

Answer 1

Answer:

414 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question we have to multiply the percent by the total acres.

Remember that when multiplying percents we have to move the decimal 2 places to the left.

So, the equation looks like this:

$69,000 * .006 = 414$

Therefore, there are 414 acres that are old-growth trees.

We can check our answer by dividing 414 by 69,000.

414/69000 = .006

.006 * 100 = .6

I hope this helps!!
