Question

a biomass crop generates .5 billion btus/acre per year. how many acres are needed to meet university park's annual 1 trillion btu energy use? group of answer choices 1000 acres 2000 acres 5000 acres 4000 acres

Answer 1

The number of acres that are needed to meet the University Park's annual 1 trillion btu energy use, given the energy produced by the biomass crop is 2, 000 acres

How to find the acres needed?

The question shows that for every acre available, the amount of energy produced by the biomass crop is 0. 5 billion btus. The University park however, has an annual energy use amount of 1 trillion btus.

This means that the number of acres that are needed to produce the energy that the University park needs can be found by the formula:

= University park energy use per annum / Amount of energy produces by biomass crop per acre per year

University park energy use per annum = 1 trillion btus

Amount of energy produces by biomass crop per acre per year  = 0. 5 billion btus

The number of acres needed is therefore:

= 1 trillion / 0. 5 btus

= 1, 000 billion  / 0. 5

= 2, 000 acres
