A national park covers an area of 1.42×106 acres. A nearby national forest covers an area of 1.2×106 acres. What is the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined?

Answer 1

To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, we need to add the area of the park and the area of the forest.

Area of the park = 1.42×106 acres
Area of the forest = 1.2×106 acres

Total area = 1.42×106 + 1.2×106

Simplifying, we get:
Total area = 2.62×106 acres

Therefore, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 2.62×106 acres.
