Answer 1

Answer:1000 kg

Explanation:because u divide

Answer 2

The total biomass is 100000kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Insects = 5000kg

Required

Determine the total biomass

Represent the total biomass with T;

The given parameters show that;

`Insect = 5\% * T`

Substitute 5000 for Insect

`5000 = 5\% * T`

Convert percentage to decimal

`5000 = 0.05 * T`

Divide through by 0.05

`T = 5000/0.05`

`T = 100000`

Hence, the total biomass is 100000kg
