So i am starting up a new bee pollination service which provides bee hives to local farmers.
I am just having trouble with this question.
So for each Ha 2 bee hives are required for pollination.
So I'm trying to come up with a formula to calculate the percentage of pollination coverage per each Ha (1: 1ha, 2: 10Ha, 3: 100 Ha, 4: 800 Ha)
What formula should I use?
So per each hectare 2 bee hives are required and i am trying to figure out the pollination percentage of the bee hives i need for 10 hectares, 100 hectares and 800 hectares
So you have two variables : $H$ = number of hives and $A$ = area (measured in ha).
Applying the basic rule of proportionnality, the general ideal formula is $H/A=2/1$ ; otherwise said, idealy, one should have $H/2A = 1$ ; but you desire a percentage, therefore the previous "ideal" formula is $H/2A\times 100$%.
But in reality, this quantity $H/2A$ for example if you double the area without doubling the number of hives will become 50%, and so on, therefore constitute the multiplicator ( less than $1$ in general ?) of the ideal $100$%.
Conclusion : the final formula should be $(H/2A) \ \times \ $ 100%.
