The following pie chart shows the total ocean cover by four oceans, Arctic, Indian, Atlantic and Pacific. $1^{\text{st}}$ sector: Arctic = 4%, $2^{\text{nd}}$ sector: Indian = 22%, $3^{\text{rd}}$ sector Atlantic = 25% and $4^{\text{th}}$ sector Pacific = 49%. Based on the pie chart, answer the given question.
If the four oceans cover an area of almost 130 million square miles in total, then what area is covered by the Pacific Ocean?
To find the area covered by the Pacific Ocean, we use the information provided by the pie chart and the total area covered by the oceans.
Identify the percentage for the Pacific Ocean:
According to the pie chart, the Pacific Ocean covers \(49\%\) of the total ocean area.
Calculate the actual area covered by the Pacific Ocean:
Total ocean area is given as 130 million square miles.
- \(\text{Area of Pacific Ocean} = \left(\frac{49}{100}\right) \times 130 \text{ million square miles}\)
Let's compute the value:
- \(= \left(\frac{49}{100}\right) \times 130 = 63.7 \text{ million square miles}\)
Thus, the area covered by the Pacific Ocean is 63.7 million square miles.
Conclusion: Among the given options, \(63.7\) million square miles is the correct answer.
