A farmer owns a field with an area of 0.04 km2. The farmer buys another field with an area of 45,600 m2. What is the total area of the fields he now owns in km2?
0.0856
Actually, the correct answer is:
0.04 km² + 0.0456 km² = 0.0856 km²
So the farmer now owns a total area of 0.0856 km².
To find the total area of the fields the farmer now owns in km², we need to add the areas of both fields and convert the units if necessary.
First, let's convert the area of the second field from m² to km². Since 1 km² is equal to 1,000,000 m², we can divide the area of the second field by 1,000,000 to convert it to km²:
45,600 m² ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.0456 km²
Now that we have the converted area of the second field, we can add it to the area of the first field:
0.04 km² + 0.0456 km² = 0.0856 km²
Therefore, the total area of the fields the farmer now owns is 0.0856 km².
45600 m^2 * (1km/1000m)^2 = 0.0456 km^2
So now just add them up
