Hawaii has the larger distance from East to West with 2,414,000,000 millimeters compared to New Mexico's 552,000,000 millimeters.
The question asks which state has the larger distance from the Eastern border to the Western border when comparing New Mexico and Hawaii based on given distances in millimeters.
To determine which state is larger in terms of east to west distance, we simply need to compare the two distances given:
- New Mexico: 552,000,000 millimeters
- Hawaii: 2,414,000,000 millimeters
By looking at the numbers, it's clear that the distance across Hawaii is larger than the distance across New Mexico. Therefore, Hawaii has the larger distance from the Eastern border to the Western border.
To add clarity:
552,000,000 mm (New Mexico)
is less than
2,414,000,000 mm (Hawaii).
