To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, you add the areas of the park and the forest.
Area of park = 1.42 × 10^6 acres
Area of forest = 1.2 × 10^6 acres
Total area = Area of park + Area of forest
Total area = 1.42 × 10^6 + 1.2 × 10^6
Total area = 2.62 × 10^6 acres
Therefore, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 2.62 × 10^6 acres.
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)
