Answer 1

57

Explanation:

To find the ratio of the area of Alaska to the area of Rhode Island, we need to divide the area of Alaska by the area of Rhode Island.

The area of Rhode Island is 1000 square miles and the area of Alaska is 5.7 x 10^5 square miles.

So, the ratio is: 5.7 x 10^5 / 1000 = 57

Therefore, Alaska's area is 57 times the area of Rhode Island.

5.7 x 10^5 divided by 1000 = 57.
