Answer:
0.001212 × 10⁶ square miles
Explanation:
The area of the United States is approximately 3.8 x 10^6 square miles. The area of Rhode Island is approximately 1,212 square miles. Express the area of Rhode Island using ten to the power of six. *
The question above is asking us to express the Rhode Island area to 10⁶
The area of Rhode Island = 1212 square miles
Hence,
10⁶ = 1000000
We would be dividing 1212 by 1000000
= 1212/1000000
= 0.001212 × 10⁶ square miles.
