Answer
600,000 trees

The correct answer is 600,000 trees — Step 2: Multiply the area in hectares by the tree density to get total trees. 3,000 hectares × 200 trees/hectare = 600,000 trees.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Step 1: Convert the area from km² to hectares. 1 km² = 100 hectares, so 30 km² = 30 × 100 = 3,000 hectares.
  2. Step 2: Multiply the area in hectares by the tree density to get total trees. 3,000 hectares × 200 trees/hectare = 600,000 trees.
Common mistake: Treating km² as hectares directly without converting

Concept tested: Tree density calculation
