Answer:

414 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question we have to multiply the percent by the total acres.

Remember that when multiplying percents we have to move the decimal 2 places to the left.

So, the equation looks like this:

[tex]69,000 * .006 = 414[/tex]

Therefore, there are 414 acres that are old-growth trees.

We can check our answer by dividing 414 by 69,000.

414/69000 = .006

.006 * 100 = .6

I hope this helps!!
