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
Question
Answer: Devin’s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Devin’s nature reserve is 14 hectares
Sam’s nature reserve is [tex]14\times 10^6\ m^2[/tex]
Also, [tex]1\ \text{hectare}=10,000\ m^2[/tex]
Devin reserve in square meter [tex]14\ \text{hectares}=14\times 10^4\ m^2[/tex]
Clearly, [tex]14\times 10^6> 14\times 10^4[/tex]
So, Devin’s manages smaller area
