Answer 1

1.18 times

Explanation:

Given that :

Surface area of Lake Victoria = 26,828 sq miles

How much larger is the surface area of lake superior than that of like Victoria?

The surface area of Lake Superior = 31,700 sq miles

Hence, taking the ratio of the surface area of the two Lakes :

Lake Superior / Lake Victoria

31,700 / 26,828

= 1.1816013

Hence, the surface area of Lake Superior is 1.18 times larger than the surface area of Lake Victoria.
