Question

Sam and Dave, who are both Park Rangers, each manage a nature preserve. ​ ​Devin's nature reserve is 14 hectares and Sam's nature reserve is 14\cdot 10^{6}14⋅10 6 square meters. ​Who manages the smaller nature preserve? Note: 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters

Answer 1

Answer: Devin's

Explanation:

Given

Devin's nature reserve is 14 hectares

Sam's nature reserve is
`14* 10^6\ m^2`

Also,
`1\ \text{hectare}=10,000\ m^2`

Devin reserve in square meter
`14\ \text{hectares}=14* 10^4\ m^2`

Clearly,
`14* 10^6> 14* 10^4`

So, Devin's manages smaller area
