Question 9 - Page 171 How many times is your village/town/city bigger than your school?We found the school area before, let’s assume City is Delhi Step 1: Convert both areas to the exact same unit. Let's use square meters ( m^2 ). Delhi area =1,483〖" " km〗^2 × 1,000,000 =𝟏,𝟒𝟖𝟑,𝟎𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎〖" " 𝒎〗^𝟐 Step 2: Convert the school estimate (𝟏𝟐𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎〖𝒇𝒕〗^𝟐 ) to 𝒎^𝟐. Since 1ft=0.3048" " m, 1ft^2=0.3048×0.3048≈0.0929〖" " m〗^2. Thus, " School Area "=120,000 × 0.0929 =𝟏𝟏,𝟏𝟒𝟖〖" " 𝒎〗^𝟐 Step 3: Perform the division to find the ratio. 1,483,000,000÷11,148≈𝟏𝟑𝟑,𝟎𝟐𝟖.𝟑 Thus, A major city like Delhi is approximately 133,028 times larger than a 2.75 -acre school campus.
