Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 3,333 acres per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find out how many hours are in 3 days.

There are 24 hours in one day.

24 times 3 = 72.

There are 72 hours in 3 days.

So the wildfire is destroying 240,000 acres every 72 hours.

240,000 divided by 72 = 3,333.3333, which is about

3,333 acres per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

240000 acres in 3 days.

1 day = 24 h

3 days = 24×3 = 72 h

acres destroyed per hour = 240000 / 72 =

= 3,333.333333...
