Question

PLEASE HELPPPPP.

1. Florida citrus groves cover approximately 750,000 acres. There are approximately 98 million citrus trees. What is the “population” density of the citrus trees?

2. These citrus trees produced about 292 million boxes of citrus during the 2003 – 2004 season. How many boxes of citrus were produced per tree, on average?

Answer 1

1. You'd divide 98,000,000 by 750,000 and get about 131 trees per acre ("population" density).

2. 131 trees/acre x 750,000 = 98,250,000trees.
Then 292,000,000 divided by98,250,000, which is 2.9 Round up to 3 boxes/tree.

Hope I helped. Hope this makes sense.
