Hey what did people put for the Christmas tree question? I think I got confused and said like 7000 or 10000 acres😅

I got 6787, most in my class got around 6000 to 7000 other than a few odd ones

Hey what did people put for the Christmas tree question? I think I got confused and said like 7000 or 10000 acres😅

i got 13 acres.... idk how to solve that question tbh. What did you do?

I worked out the average percentage increase to about 2.7% but it said it was over 10 years for the tree to reach 6 feet so I compounded it.
I took the 2022 trees which was 7.66 million x 1.027^10 = 9.99 million then assumed 75% were nordmann fir trees which gave me 7.49 million.

I assumed 5 feet apart then x 8 feet by row gave me 40 sf per tree. So then I did 40 sf x 7.49 million trees = 299.6 million sf
Then I divided it by the amount of sf per acre which was around 43000 ish to get the 6787 acres
