The Fremont School District uses oil to heat school buildings. Go Green! is a new project the district will implement. The superintendent has declared that the district will dedicate itself to reducing its carbon footprint. In addition to taking serious energy-conservation measures, the district is planning to help offset its carbon dioxide emissions by raising money to help conserve a portion of a large tract of forest land adjacent to the high school campus. Use the assumptions below to answer the questions that follow. For each calculation, show all work. The biomass of the forest increases at an annual rate of 2.7 × 105 kg/ha. The forest biomass is 50 percent carbon by mass. Each year the district uses 3.0 × 105 gallons of fuel oil for heating and hot water. 10 kg of CO2 is produced when 1 gallon of fuel oil is burned. 1.0 kg of CO2 contains 0.27 kg of carbon. The cost of putting 1 ha of the forest into conservancy is $12,000. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 📝 APES Math Review Sheet ($3): https://www.patreon.com/NicoleMTutori... ----------------------------------------------------------------- 🎥 Full APES Math Review Playlist:    • AP Environmental Science (APES) Math: Ever...   ----------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ For content requests, please support me on Patreon:   / nicolemtutoring   ✅ Subscribe:    / nicolemtutoring   ----------------------------------------------------------------- #APEnvironmentalScience #APESMath #APEnviro #dimensionalanalysis #unitconversions
