Answer 1

To find the answer, we need to determine the rate at which the oil spill covers the area. The oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in 1/4 of an hour, so to find the rate at which it covers the area in one hour, we multiply 4 by 4, which equals 16 square kilometers.

Therefore, the oil spill will cover 16 square kilometers in 1 hour.

To find how many square kilometers it will cover in 2 hours, we multiply the rate of 16 square kilometers/hour by 2, which equals 32 square kilometers.

So, the correct answer is 32 square kilometers.
