Answer:
Area of Canada is 33.33 times the area of Italy.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Area of Canada=[tex]1\times 10^7[/tex] squares miles approximately
Area of Italy=[tex]3\times 10^5[/tex] squares approximately
We have to find the statement which describes best the relative sizes of the countries.
Area of Canad:Area of Italy=[tex]1\times 10^7:3\times 10^5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Area\;of\; Canada}{area\;of Italy}=\frac{1\times 10^7}{3\times 10^5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Area\;of\; Canada}{area\;of Italy}=\frac{1}{3}\times 10^{7-5}[/tex]
Using rule :[tex]\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Area\;of\; Canada}{area\;of Italy}=\frac{1}{3}\times 10^2=\frac{100}{3}=33.33[/tex]
Area of Canada=33.33 times the area of Italy
Hence,the area of Canada is 33.33 times the area of Italy.
