Question

a national park covers an area of 1.42×10 6 acres a national Derby forest covers an area of 1.2×10/6 acres. What is the total number of acres in the park in the rainforest combined

Answer 1

To find the total area covered by the national park and the national forest, we can add the two areas together.

The area of the national park is:

1.42 × 10^6 acres

The area of the national forest is:

1.2 × 10^6 acres

Now, let's add these two values together:

\[
1.42 \times 10^6 + 1.2 \times 10^6 = (1.42 + 1.2) \times 10^6 = 2.62 \times 10^6 \text{ acres}
\]

Therefore, the total area of the national park and the national forest combined is **2.62 × 10^6 acres**.
