In the united states, the five great lakes cover an area of 94,710 square miles. The smallest of the great lakes, lake ontario, covers an area of 7540 square miles. Write a fraction in simplest form that compares the area of lake ontario to the total area of all the great lakes. Then write the fraction as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Yep it's 0.80 I did it at home but sorry I was late to answer

Answer 2

`(754)/(9471)` = 0.08 ( to the nearest hundredth)

express the fraction with Ontario as numerator and total area as denominator

=
`(7540)/(94710)`

to simplify divide numerator/ denominator by 10

=
`(754)/(9471)` in simplest form

to express as a decimal fraction divide the numerator by the denominator

754 ÷ 9471 = 0.08 → ( to nearest hundredth)
