The area of the Pacific Ocean is about 6.0061 x 10^7 square miles. The area of the Southern Ocean is about 7.8483 x 10^6 square miles. Approximately how many times larger is the area of the Pacific Ocean than that of the Southern Ocean?

7.653 larger

Step-by-step explanation:

Pacific area/Southern area = (6.0061) * 10^7 / (7.8483) * 10^6

                            = 6.0061/ 7.8483    *    10^7/10^6

                            = 0.7653    *    10^(7-6)

                            = 0.7653   *   10^1

                             = 0.7653 * 10

                             = 7.653

Compared to the Southern Ocean, the Pacific Ocean is about 7.653 times larger.

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!
