To find: The volume of each ocean
The volumes of the four oceans are
Given information:
The table shows the surface areas and average depths of four oceans.
Calculation:
Consider the following table.
From the given table, it can be seen that the surface area of the first ocean is
The volume of the ocean is given by the product of its surface area and average depth.
Volume
Apply the properties of multiplication to rearrange the terms.
Now, simplify using a property of exponents
Therefore, the volume of the first ocean is
In a similar way, calculate the volumes of the other three oceans.
Now, find the volume of the third ocean.
Next, find the volume of the fourth ocean.
Therefore, the volumes of the four oceans are
