Question

In 200 acres of forest in Georgia, 5 ginseng plants were counted. If Georgia has 25 million acres of

forests, estimate the number of ginseng plants in Georgia.​

Answer 1

Answer: 0.625

Explanation:

In 200 acres of forest in Georgia, there's were 5 ginseng plants that were counted. For us to solve the question further, we have to first calculate how many ginseng plants would be counted for 1 acres of forest.

In 1 acre of forest, there will be:

= 5/200 ginseng plants

= 0.025 ginseng plants.

If Georgia has 25 million acres of

forests, the number of ginseng plants in Georgia will be:

= 0.025 × 25

= 0.625 ginseng plants
