Loss * farmers = total loss
4.5 x 100 = 450 farmers
(2.3 x 450) x 10 loss
(1,035) x 10 loss
1.035 x 10^3 kg soil loss/year on avg

The amount of topsoil that is lost in the state annually is equal to 1.035 × 10⁻³ kilo grams.

How do we calculate total loss?

Total loss in the topsoil in the state annually will be calculated by using the below equation as:

Total loss = Number of farmers × certain lose

Given that, Number of farmers = 4.5×100 = 450

Certain lose = 2.3 × 10 kg

On putting values on the above equation, we get

Total loss = (450)(2.3×10) = 10,350 kg = 1.035 × 10⁻³kg

Hence total loss is equal to  1.035 × 10⁻³ kg.
