Answer 1

Area of Alaska = 1,700,000 sq. Km
area of Florida = .1 that of Alaska.
hence, area of Florida = 0.1 × 1700000
Area of Florida = 170,000 Sq. Km.

Answer 2

Given:
land area of Alaska: 1,700,000 square kilometers
land area of Florida: 0.10 of Alaska

To find the land area of Florida, we multiply its decimal to the land area of Alaska

1,700,000 sq. km * 0.10 = 170,000 square kilometers.

The land area of Florida is 170,000 square kilometers. It is equal to 0.10 or 10% of the land area of Alaska.
