Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Continent X =6.23*10^6

Continent Y= 63,600,000

rounded = 60,000,000

Scientific notation = 6*10^7

Now round continent X= 6.23 or 6

Continent X= 6*10^6

6*10^7/ 6*10^6 = 1*10^(7-6)

= 1*10^1

= 1*10

= 10

So, your answer would be 10 I would have done it this way too not trying to copy(:
