c. multiply area of canada by 0.23 which is 2293100 km
just in case you might want to double check the zeros to make sure i did it right
Answer:
a. 797,600 km²
b. 9,172,400 km²
c. 2,293,100 km²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number. First, change the percent into a decimal number by moving the decimal point of the percent 2 places to the left. For example, 42% = 0.42; 7% = 0.07
Part a.
8% of 9,970,000 km²
Step 1. Multiply the percent by the number
8% of 9,970,000 km² = 8% × 9,970,000 km²
Step 2. Change the percent into a decimal number by moving the decimal point of the percent 2 places left.
8% of 9,970,000 km² = 8% × 9,970,000 km² = 0.08 × 9,970,000 km²
Step 3. Use a calculator or long division to do the multiplication.
0.08 × 9,970,000 km² = 797,600 km²
Answer: a. area covered in fresh water is 797,600 km²
Part b.
Subtract the area of part a. from the total area of Canada.
9,970,000 km² - 797,600 km² = 9,172,400 km²
Answer: b. area not covered in fresh water is 9,172,400 km²
Part c.
Tundra is 23% of total area.
23% of 9,970,000 km²
Step 1. Multiply the percent by the number
23% of 9,970,000 km² = 23% × 9,970,000 km²
Step 2. Change the percent into a decimal number by moving the decimal point of the percent 2 places left.
23% of 9,970,000 km² = 23% × 9,970,000 km² = 0.23 × 9,970,000 km²
Step 3. Use a calculator or long division to do the multiplication.
0.23 × 9,970,000 km² = 2,293,100 km²
Answer: a. area covered in tundra is 2,293,100 km²
