Answer 1

a. 797,600 km²

b. 9,172,400 km²

c. 2,293,100 km²

Explanation:

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number. First, change the percent into a decimal number by moving the decimal point of the percent 2 places to the left. For example, 42% = 0.42; 7% = 0.07

Part a.

8% of 9,970,000 km²

Step 1. Multiply the percent by the number

8% of 9,970,000 km² = 8% × 9,970,000 km²

Step 2. Change the percent into a decimal number by moving the decimal point of the percent 2 places left.

8% of 9,970,000 km² = 8% × 9,970,000 km² = 0.08 × 9,970,000 km²

Step 3. Use a calculator or long division to do the multiplication.

0.08 × 9,970,000 km² = 797,600 km²

Answer: a. area covered in fresh water is 797,600 km²

Part b.

Subtract the area of part a. from the total area of Canada.

9,970,000 km² - 797,600 km² = 9,172,400 km²

Answer: b. area not covered in fresh water is 9,172,400 km²

Part c.

Tundra is 23% of total area.

23% of 9,970,000 km²

Step 1. Multiply the percent by the number

23% of 9,970,000 km² = 23% × 9,970,000 km²

Step 2. Change the percent into a decimal number by moving the decimal point of the percent 2 places left.

23% of 9,970,000 km² = 23% × 9,970,000 km² = 0.23 × 9,970,000 km²

Step 3. Use a calculator or long division to do the multiplication.

0.23 × 9,970,000 km² = 2,293,100 km²

Answer: a. area covered in tundra is 2,293,100 km²

Answer 2

797600km, 9172400 km, 2293100 km

Explanation:

a. to find the amount of canada covered in fresh water, multiply 9970000 by 0.08 to get 797600km

b. the amount not covered by fresh water is 9970000-797600 which equals 9172400 km

c. multiply area of canada by 0.23 which is 2293100 km

just in case you might want to double check the zeros to make sure i did it right
