An average person in the country needs 2,450 kilocalories / day of food to meet their full nutritional needs. The average number of kcal per hectare (ha) produced from available food in the country is 15,737,000 kcal/ha

Calculate the amount of land that would be needed to produce enough kilocalories to feed a person for one year in this developing country show your work

Amount of land = 0.056 hectares

Step-by-step explanation: Given that

An average person in the country needs 2,450 kilocalories / day. That is

A person in a day takes 2450 kilocalories

The average number of kcal per hectare (ha) produced from available food in the country is 15,737,000 kcal/ha.

So in one day per person, we have

15737000 = 2450/hec

Hectare = 2450/15737000

Hectare = 1.5568 * 10 - 4

The amount of land that would be needed to produce enough kilocalories to feed a person for one year in this developing country will be

Calculated hectare * 365.25

Hectare = 1.5568 * 10 - 4 * 365.25

Amount of land = 0.056 hectares
