Question

Sam and Dave, who are both Park Rangers, each manage a nature preserve. ​ ​Devin's nature reserve is 14 hectares and Sam's nature reserve is 14\cdot 10^{6}14⋅10 6 square meters. ​Who manages the smaller nature preserve? Note: 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters

Answer 1

Answer: Devin's

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Devin's nature reserve is 14 hectares

Sam's nature reserve is $14\times 10^6\ m^2$

Also, $1\ \text{hectare}=10,000\ m^2$

Devin reserve in square meter $14\ \text{hectares}=14\times 10^4\ m^2$

Clearly, $14\times 10^6> 14\times 10^4$

So, Devin's manages smaller area
