Answer:

The total biomass is 100000kg

Explanation:

Given

Insects = 5000kg

Required

Determine the total biomass

Represent the total biomass with T;

The given parameters show that;

[tex]Insect = 5\% * T[/tex]

Substitute 5000 for Insect

[tex]5000 = 5\% * T[/tex]

Convert percentage to decimal

[tex]5000 = 0.05 * T[/tex]

Divide through by 0.05

[tex]T = 5000/0.05[/tex]

[tex]T = 100000[/tex]

Hence, the total biomass is 100000kg
