To find out the number of states in the western United States that are bordered by the ocean, you can follow these steps:
1. Open a map of the United States or search for an image of the U.S. states.
2. Identify the states in the western part of the country. These typically include Washington, Oregon, California, and sometimes Alaska and Hawaii.
3. For each of these states, check if they have a coastline along the Pacific Ocean.
By doing this, you can determine the number of states in the western U.S. that are bordered by the ocean. In this case, the states that have a coastline along the Pacific Ocean are Washington, Oregon, and California.
