Question

Alaska has a coastline of about 6.64 thousand miles. Florida has about 1.35 thousand miles of coastline. How many times more coastline does Alaska have than Florida? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

To figure this out, all you need to is find the quotient of 6.64 divided by 1.35. When this operation is done, your answer is 4.91851851852. However, your question says round to the nearest tenth, so it would be 4.9.

Your final answer is that Alaska's coastline is 4.9 times bigger than Florida's coastline.
