Question

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF IT IS CORRECT! The Atlantic Ocean covers about 3.2 × 10^7 square miles. The Pacific Ocean covers about 6.4 × 10^7 square miles. About how much area does the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean cover? A. 3.2 × 10^7 square miles B. 9.6 × 10^7 square miles C. 3.2 × 10^14 square miles D. 9.6 × 10^14 square miles

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

3.2 * 10⁷ + 6.4 * 10⁷

= 10⁷  * (3.2 + 6.4)

= 10⁷ * 9.6

= 9.6 * 10⁷

Answer 2

Answer:

The Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean covers about 9.6 x 10^7 mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> area covered by the Atlantic Ocean

y -----> area covered by the Pacific Ocean

we know that

The area that covers the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean is equal to the sum of  the area covered by the Atlantic Ocean and the area covered by the Pacific Ocean

x = 3.2 x 10^7

y = 6.4 x 10^7

Substitute

x + y = 3.2 x 10^7 + 6.4 x 10^7 = 9.6 x 10^7.

Hope this helps!  And good luck on your test!
