Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D.About 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

China's area = 3 700000 mi²

Asia's area = 17 200000 mi²

Process

1.- Consider the Asia's area as 100% and use proportions to solve this problem

                   17 200000 -------------------------- 100 mi²

                    3 700000 --------------------------  x

                    x = (3700000 x 100) / 17200000

- Simplification

                    x = 370000000 / 17200000

-Result

                    x = 21.51 ≈ 22
