Question

1730 plants /km^2=plants/m^2

Answer 1

In order to complete the equality we need to find how many square meters are there in 1 square kilometer

`\begin{gathered} 1km^2=(1000m)(1000m) \\ 1km^2=1\cdot10^6m^2 \end{gathered}`

then we need to use the conversion factors to change the units

`1730\frac{\text{plants}}{km^2}\cdot(1km^2)/(1\cdot10^6m^2)=(0.00173plants)/(m^2)`
