Question

If the per capita consumption of fish is 6.6 kg per person per year and the population grows by 2,500 people, how much fish would be consumed per year?

Answer 1

To calculate the additional fish consumption due to a population growth of 2,500 people, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Total Fish Consumption} = \text{Per Capita Consumption} \times \text{Population}
\]

Given:
- Per capita consumption of fish = 6.6 kg/person/year
- Population growth = 2,500 people

Now, calculate the additional fish consumption:

\[
\text{Additional Fish Consumption} = 6.6 \, \text{kg/person/year} \times 2,500 \, \text{people} = 16,500 \, \text{kg/year}
\]

So, the additional fish consumed per year due to the population increase of 2,500 people would be **16,500 kg**.
