A national park covers an area of 1.42×106 acres. A nearby national forest covers an area of 1.2×106 acres. What is the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined?(1 point)
To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, we add the areas of the park and the forest.
Total area = Area of park + Area of forest
Total area = 1.42 x 10^6 acres + 1.2 x 10^6 acres
Total area = 2.62 x 10^6 acres
Therefore, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 2.62 million acres.
