"Student A finds 27 unique species in her square meter, she decides to user Fermi Estimation to speed up the rest of her data collection. If she counts 23 grass plants in 100 square centimeters, about how many grass plants are there in her entire square meter?(assume the grass is evenly distributed)"

Answer 1

2,300 grass plants in 1m²

Explanation:

`1m=100cm\to1m^2=(100cm)^2=100^2cm^2=10,000cm^2\\\\100cm^2\ in\ 1m^2\to(10,000\ cm^2)/(100\ cm^2)=100\\\\23\ grass\ plants\ in\ 100cm^2\to\ 23\cdot100\ grass\ plants\ in\ 1m^2\\\\2,300\ plants\ in\ 1m^2`

Answer 2

1sqmeter=100x100=100000sqcm
in 1sqcm there are 23/100=.23 grass plants
Therefore, there will be .23x100000=2300 grass plants in a sq.meter
