Question

Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert occupy 25% of

a piece of land. The land has 450 hectares in total.
How much land is made up of Joshua trees?

Answer 1

This is a math problem that can be solved by using the formula for finding the percentage of a quantity. The formula is:

`$$\text{percentage of quantity} = \frac{\text{percentage}}{100} * \text{quantity}$$`

In this case, the percentage is 25% and the quantity is 450 hectares. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

`$$\text{percentage of quantity} = (25)/(100) * 450$$`

Simplifying the fraction and multiplying, we get:

`$$\text{percentage of quantity} = 0.25 * 450$$`

`$$\text{percentage of quantity} = 112.5$$`

Therefore, the amount of land that is made up of Joshua trees is 112.5 hectares.
