Exercise

Calculate a total biomass in grams for 3 white-throated woodrats (Neotoma albigula) and then convert it to kilograms. The total biomass is three times the average size of a single individual. An average individual weighs 250 grams.

• Add a new section to your R script starting with a comment.
• Create a variable grams and assign it the mass of a single Neotoma albigula (250).
• Create a variable number and assign it the number of individuals (3).
• Create a variable biomass and assign it a value by multiplying the grams and number variables together.
• Convert the value of biomass into kilograms (there are 1000 grams in a kilogram so divide by 1000) and assign this value to a new variable.
• Print the final answer to the screen.
