Answer:4.064 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Area of Land owned by John =2.17 x 104 square miles
Area of Land owned by Sam= 5.34 x 103 square miles.
When we say about how many times is a quantity greeter than the other we mean that how much is the smaller quantity contained in the larger quantity. and in such cases, we divide.
Area of Land owned by John/Area of Land owned by Sam
=2.17 x 104 square miles/ 5.34 x 103 square miles
=21,700 square miles /5,340 square miles
=4.064 times
Therefore we say that John's owns an area of land by 4.064 times Sam's land.
