Respuesta :
the area of Alaska - 1 700 000 square kilometers
and we are told that the land area of Florida is 1/10th the size of Alaska. Therefore land area of Florida is equal to 1/10th of 1 700 000
that's 1 700 000 / 10 = 170 000 km²
therefore land area of Florida is 170 000 km²
and we are told that the land area of Florida is 1/10th the size of Alaska. Therefore land area of Florida is equal to 1/10th of 1 700 000

therefore land area of Florida is 170 000 km²
The land area of Florida is [tex]\bf170000\,{\text{k}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}[/tex].
Further explanation:
A fraction represents a part of a whole where the numerator shows the total parts of the whole and the denominator shows the total whole value.
Proper fractions are the fractions in which numerator is less than the denominator.
For example: [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex] is a proper fraction where 1(numerator) is less than 6(denominator).
An improper fractions are the fractions in which numerator is greater than the denominator.
For example: [tex]\dfrac{8}{7}[/tex] is an improper fraction where 8(numerator) is greater than 7(denominator).
It is given that Alaska has a land area of about [tex]170000\,{\text{k}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}[/tex].
Also given that Florida has a land area [tex]\dfrac{1}{{10}}[/tex] the size of Alaska.
Florida has a land area [tex]\dfrac{1}{{10}}[/tex] the size of Alaska and the land area [tex]L[/tex] of Florida can be calculated by multiplying [tex]\dfrac{1}{{10}}[/tex] by 1700000 as,
[tex]\begin{aligned}L&=\dfrac{1}{{10}}\times1700000\\&=170000 \\ \end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, the land area of Florida is [tex]\bf170000\,{\text{k}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}[/tex].
