Question

A national park covers an area of 1.42 * 10 ^ 6 acres. A nearby national forest covers an area of 1.2 * 10 ^ 6 acres. What is the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined? (1 point)

15.5 * 10 ^ B

2.62 * 10 ^ 6

1.54 * 10 ^ 6

2.62 * 10 ^ 12

Answer 1

To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, you just need to add the areas of the park and the forest.

Area of the park = 1.42 * 10^6 acres
Area of the forest = 1.2 * 10^6 acres

Adding them together:
1.42 * 10^6 + 1.2 * 10^6 = 2.62 * 10^6

So, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 2.62 * 10^6.
