To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, you need to add the areas of the park and the forest.
Area of the park = 1.42 × 10^6 acres
Area of the forest = 1.2 × 10^6 acres
Total area = 1.42 × 10^6 + 1.2 × 10^6 = (1.42 + 1.2) × 10^6 = 2.62 × 10^6
Therefore, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 2.62 × 10^6.
To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, we need to add the areas of the national park and the national forest.
The area of the national park is given as 1.42×10^6 acres.
The area of the national forest is given as 1.2×10^6 acres.
To find the total area, we can simply add these two values:
1.42×10^6 + 1.2×10^6 = 2.62×10^6 acres.
Therefore, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 2.62×10^6 acres.

To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, you need to add the area of the national park to the area of the national forest.
The area of the national park is given as 1.42×10^6 acres. This means you need to multiply 1.42 by 10 raised to the power of 6.
1.42 × 10^6 = 1.42 million acres
Similarly, the area of the national forest is given as 1.2×10^6 acres. This means you need to multiply 1.2 by 10 raised to the power of 6.
1.2 × 10^6 = 1.2 million acres
To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, you add these two values:
1.42 million acres + 1.2 million acres = 2.62 million acres
So, the correct answer is 2.62×10^6 acres.
The distance from Venus to the sun is about 67,000,000 miles. The distance from Earth to the sun is about 2.6×107 farther. What is the distance from Earth to the sun? Write your answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place.
To find the distance from Earth to the sun, we need to add the distance from Venus to the sun (67,000,000 miles) to the distance that Earth is farther (2.6×10^7 miles).
Distance from Earth to the sun = Distance from Venus to the sun + Distance that Earth is farther
Distance from Earth to the sun = 67,000,000 miles + 2.6×10^7 miles
Distance from Earth to the sun = 92,600,000 miles
Writing the answer in scientific notation to 1 decimal place, we have:
Distance from Earth to the sun = 9.3×10^7 miles
