To find the number of acres of old-growth trees in the forest, we can calculate 0.3% of 51,000 acres.
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal:
\( 0.3\% = \frac{0.3}{100} = 0.003 \)
2. Multiply this decimal by the total number of acres:
\[
\text{Old-growth trees} = 51,000 \times 0.003 = 153
\]
Therefore, there are **153 acres** of old-growth trees.
