Question: The Atlantic Ocean covers about 94 million square kilometres and this is about 26% of the total area of the world's oceans. To the nearest million square kilometres, what is that total area (1 d.p.)?
I found 26% of 94 million: 24,440,000.
Then added that to 94 million: 118,440,000.
So that is my answer, 118,440,000, but I'm not sure that this is correct because the question says 1 d.p. and there weren't any decimals in my answer.
What am I doing wrong?
