Q. The approximate areas of Arkansas and Puerto Rico are listed below:Arkansas: 1.38×105 square kilometersPuerto Rico: 5.33×103 square kilometersHow many times larger is Arkansas than Puerto Rico? Write your answer in standard notation, rounding to the nearest tenth.Answer:
Write Areas: Write down the areas of Arkansas and Puerto Rico.Arkansas: 1.38×105 square kilometersPuerto Rico: 5.33×103 square kilometers
Divide Areas: Divide the area of Arkansas by the area of Puerto Rico to find out how many times larger Arkansas is.Calculation: (1.38×105)/(5.33×103)
Perform Division: Perform the division by first dividing the coefficients 1.38/5.33 and then subtracting the exponents of 105−3.Calculation: 5.331.38×105−3
Calculate Coefficients: Calculate the division of the coefficients.Calculation: 1.38/5.33≈0.259
Calculate Power: Calculate the power of 10.Calculation: 105−3=102=100
Multiply Results: Multiply the result from Step 4 by the result from Step 5 to get the final answer.Calculation: 0.259×100≈25.9
Round Answer: Round the result to the nearest tenth as instructed.Calculation: 25.9 (already rounded to the nearest tenth)
