To make the estimate, Tess uses this 0.7m by 0.7m square frame.

Calculate the area of the frame in m²

Round your previous answer and use this value to estimate the number of frames that will fit into the field with no overlaps.

Tess puts the frame on the ground. She counts the number of plants in the frame.
Tess repeats this 12 times in different places on the field.
Here are her results:

Tess uses her results to calculate the mean number of plants per frame.
She then uses this rule to estimate the total number of plants in the field.

Use Tess’s data and the rule to estimate the total number of plants in the field.

In the 1930s there were 12 500 square miles of wildflower meadow in the UK.
By 2017, only 5% of this remained.
What is 5% as a decimal?
