The average net primary production in tropical rain forests each year is 8,900 kilocalories per square meter. If the total net primary production of a selected portion of a tropical rain forest in a given year is 1.8*10^ 8. kilocalories, what is the approximate total area, in square meters, of the selected portion? A) 4.9 * 10 ^ 3
B) 1.6 * 10 ^ 4
C) 2.0 * 10 ^ 4
D) 1.6 * 10 ^ 12 ​

C: 2 × 10⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the average net primary production in tropical rain forests each year is 8,900 kilocalories per square meter.

Thus;

P_net,average = 8900 Kcal/m²

We are also told that net primary production of a selected portion of a tropical rain forest in a given year is 1.8 × 10^(8) kilocalories.

Thus;

P_net = 1.8 × 10^(8) Kcal

To get the average, the formula is;

P_net,average = P_net/Area

Thus;

Area = P_net/P_net,average

Plugging in the relevant values;

Area = (1.8 × 10^(8))/8900

Area ≈ 2 × 10⁴ m²
