Question

The state of Montana has an area of 147,164 square miles. The state of Vermont has an area of 9,623 square miles.

How many times could the state of Vermont fit inside the state of Montana, based on area?

Answer 1

This is basically asking you what 147,164 ÷ 9,623 is, so 147,164 ÷ 9,623 = 15.293. Because you can't get 0.293 of a country, you can round down and say that the answer is 15 times. I hope this helps!
