Eastern Cities \\\\\\ Western Cities
New York City 305 mi² \\\\\ Los Angeles 503 mi²
Baltimore 92 mi² \\\\\ San Francisco 47 mi²
Philadelphia 142 mi² \\\\\ Seattle 84 mi²
Orlando 111 mi² \\\\\ San Diego 372 mi²
Boston 90 mi² \\\\\ Portland 145 mi²

Answer 1

The range in the west is 241larger.

In the East, we subtract 90 from 305 to get a range of 215.
In the West, we subtract 47 from 503 to get a range of 456.

The difference in the ranges is: 
456 - 215 = 241

Answer 2

Answer:

The range for western cities is greater by 241 than the eastern cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

The table representing the areas of different cities in east and west.

So, Range of cities = Maximum area - Minimum area

Then, we get,

Range of Eastern cities = 305 - 90 = 215

Range of Western cities = 503 - 47 = 456

Thus, we have,

Difference in the range of eastern and western cities = 456 - 215 = 241

That is, the range for western cities is greater by 241 than the eastern cities.
