Answer:
73.06 ha/hr
Explanation:
To calculates this, you will need to find out the number of hours in 2011.
There were 365 days in 2011.
Each day has 24 hours.
⇒ [tex]365[/tex] ×[tex]24 = 8760[/tex] hours
To calculate the hectares per hour, we divide the total number of hectares by the total number of hours.
[tex]\frac{640000}{8760} = 73.059[/tex]
We rounded off this value to two decimal places:
73.06 hectares per hour of Amazon rainforest were cleared in 2011.
