Question

About how many times greater is the area ofthe Pacific Ocean than the Atlantic Ocean?Ocean Area (square kilometers)Pacific161.8 × 106Atlantic85,133,000

Answer 1

Given:

Area of Pacific ocean = 161.8 12 x 10⁶ square kilometers

Area of Atlantic ocean = 85133000 square kilometers

Let's find how many times greater is the area of the pacific ocean than the Atlantic ocean.

To find how many times greater, divide the area of the Pacific ocean by the area of the Atlantic ocean.

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (161.8*10^6)/(85133000) \\ \\ =(161.8*10^6)/(85.133*10^6) \\ \\ =1.9 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of the Pacific ocean is 1.9 times greater than the area of the Atlantic ocean.

ANSWER:

1.9 times
