Answer:

78795000

Explanation:

This is easy DO NOT worry about the numbers all it is is subtraction

its asking "how much larger is the area of the Pacific ocean?"

whens asking things like how much more how much bigger how many more its going to be subtracting this is because your trying to find out the to lengths cut

Example:

Lets make this simple to understand

Grandmas house is about 30 miles away but uncles house is about 45 miles away how many more miles is uncles house then grandmas

First we would find how much the uncles house is and since it says "how many more miles" were subtracting 45 - 30 which is 15!
