The area of the Arctic Ocean is 14,750,000 km ^ 2. In winter, one tenth of its area is often not covered with ice.

The area of the Arctic Ocean is 14,750,000 km ^ 2. In winter, one tenth of its area is often not covered with ice. Calculate the area of the Arctic Ocean that is covered by ice.

According to the condition, we are given the area of the Arctic Ocean 14,750,000 km2. At the same time, it is said that a tenth of its area does not freeze in winter. Therefore, to find the area of the ocean that is covered with ice, you must first find a tenth of the area that is not covered by ice, and then subtract the found value from the entire area of the ocean.

Let’s find a tenth of the ocean area:

14,750,000: 10 = 1,475,000 km2.

Find the area of the ocean that is covered with ice:

14750000 – 1475000 = 13275000 km2.

Answer: 13,275,000 km2.
