If there's 3000 brown tree snakes per square mile and 121,000 square feet in a typical high school. How many snakes would be found in that high school

Answer 1

First you need to convert ft^2 to mi^2 using the formula: square miles = square feet × 3.587E-8.

Then set up a ratio and solve for x:

3000 snakes x snakes

----------------- = --------------

1 square mile answer to the above conversion
