If you move the decimal point left until it is just to the right of the most-significant digit, the number of places you moved it is the power of ten that your new number is multiplied by.
Then multiplication can proceed in the usual way, taking into account the rules of exponents.

Answer:
4.11 * 10⁷ square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P = pacific ocean
A = Atlantic ocean
P = 63,780,000 = 6.38 * 10⁷
Since A is 2.27 * 10⁷ square miles smaller than the pacific ocean,
The area of A = 6.38 * 10⁷ - 2.27 * 10⁷
The area of the atlantic ocean = 4.11 * 10⁷ square miles
7 - 9w = - 29
Subtract 7 from both sides
- 9w = - 36
Divide by - 9 on both sides
w = 4
