what is the correct answer
The correct answer is 12,561 gm2. To find the average biomass of the apex predators, you would add up all the values and then divide by the number of values.
(5,689 + 12,561 + 999 + 292,635) / 4 = 77,196 / 4 = 12,561 gm2
Therefore, the average biomass of the apex predators in this ecosystem is 12,561 gm2.
