Given:

Total forest area = 52000 acres

Area of old growth trees in the forest = 0.4%

To find:

The area of old growth trees.

Solution:

We have,

Total forest area = 52000 acres

Area of old growth trees in the forest = 0.4%

Area of old growth trees is


Area=0.4\% \text{ of total forest area}


Area=(0.4)/(100)* 52000


Area=0.4* 520


Area=208

Therefore, the area of old growth trees is 208 acres.
