Respuesta :

ANSWER

190 times

EXPLANATION

The total area of Kansas covered with water is about

[tex]5 \times {10}^{2} [/tex]

The total area of Alaska that is covered by water is about

[tex]9.5 \times {10}^{4} [/tex]

To compare the two total area of water covered, we divide the bigger area covered by water by the smaller area covered by water.

[tex] \frac{9.5 \times {10}^{4} }{5 \times {10}^{2} } = 1.9 \times {10}^{2} = 190[/tex]

That is; Alaska's total water area is about 190 times that of Kansas'.
