The Indian Ocean contains approximately 3 x 10^20 liters of water. Lake Bailal contains approximately 2 x 10^16 liters of water.
Approximately how many times greater is the volume of the Indian Ocean than the volume of Lake Baikal?
•66 times greater
• 1,500 times greater
• 15, 000 times greater
66, 000 times greater
To find the difference in volume between the Indian Ocean and Lake Baikal, we need to divide the volume of the Indian Ocean by the volume of Lake Baikal:
(3 x 10^20 liters) / (2 x 10^16 liters) = 1500
Therefore, the volume of the Indian Ocean is approximately 1500 times greater than the volume of Lake Baikal.
So, the answer is 1500 times greater.
Can you put that into a equation?
Sure! The equation would be:
Volume Indian Ocean / Volume Lake Baikal = 3 x 10^20 / 2 x 10^16 = 1500
So the volume of the Indian Ocean is 1500 times greater than the volume of Lake Baikal.
