Answer

$3.031\;metric\;tonne/ha$.

Work Step by Step

The given value is $=45\;bu/acre$ Covert the given value to $kg/ha$ First convert $bu$ to $lb$. Second convert $lb$ to $kg$. Third convert $acre$ to $ha$. $=45 \frac{bu}{acre}\times \frac{60\;lb}{1\;bu}\times \frac{1\;kg}{2.20\;lb} \times \frac{2.47\; acre}{1ha}$ Simplify. $=3031\; kg/ha$. Covert the above value to $metric\; tons/ha$ Use $1000\;kg=1\;metric\; tonne$ $=3031 \frac{kg}{ha}\times \frac{1\;metric\; tonne}{1000\;kg}$ Simplify. $=3.031\;metric\;tonne/ha$.
