Question

The area of the Atlantic ocean is 3,18,00,000 sq miles and the area of the
Pacific ocean is 6,40, 00,000 sq miles. Express the area of these two oceans in
scientific notation and compare them to find which ocean covers more area.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$The \: area \: of \: the \: Atlantic \: ocean \: \\ = \: 3,18,00,000 \: {miles}^{2} \\ = \: 3.18 \times {10}^{7} {miles}^{2} \\ the \: area \: of \: the \: Pacific \: ocean \: \\ = 6,40, 00,000 \: {miles}^{2} \\ = 6.4 \times {10}^{7} \: {miles}^{2} \\ comparing : \\ \frac{the \: area \: of \: the \: Pacific \: ocean}{The \: area \: of \: the \: Atlantic \: ocean} = \frac{6.4 \times {10}^{7}}{3.18 \times {10}^{7}} \\ area \: of \: the \: Pacific \: ocean = 2 \times area \: of \: the \: Atlantic \: ocean \\ \\ on \: dividing \: it \: gives \: value \: nearly \: equal \: to \: 2$
