If there are 50 trees per acre in a rectangular orchard and the orchard is 1.7 km by 2.2 km, how many trees are in the entire orchard? Additional info: 1 acre is equal to 4046.86 m2. Round to the nearest whole tree. A. 23105 trees B. 46209 trees C.46209 km2 D.23105 km2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can eliminate C and D as they are km2 not trees. 1000m = 1 km must be used. Nearly done.

still need help:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First off, Multiply 1.7 km by 2.2 km

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.74 :O

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes so area is 3.74 sq km or 3.74 million sq m 1km = 1000m 1 sqkm = 1 million sq m divide by 4046.86 to get num of acres

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide 3.74 by 4046.86?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

3,740,000 / 4046

OpenStudy (anonymous):
