Photosynthesis

Tomato plants grow best in high light intensities. To increase the yield of tomato plants, a farmer uses LED lightbulbs to provide additional light.
The increase in dry mass (D) produced when using additional light can be calculated using this equation.

Where
L = light used in photosynthesis
F = GPP to NPP conversion factor for tomato plants
The table below shows some of these values for LED lightbulbs.

L / MJ m–2 h–1 = 2.87 × 10–2 F / MJ kg–1 = 20

(d)  Use the equation and the table to calculate the increase in dry mass produced when using LED lightbulbs.
Give your answer in standard form and give the units.


The answer is

3.59 × 10–3/3.5875 × 10–3;
kg m–2 h–1;

But Idk how they got there
