Approximately how many times could Rhode Island fit inside Texas?
Answer:
Rhode Island is about 1,214 square miles in size, while Texas is approximately 268,596 square miles. To calculate how many times Rhode Island could fit inside Texas, we divide the area of Texas by the area of Rhode Island:
\text{Number of times} = \frac{\text{Area of Texas}}{\text{Area of Rhode Island}} = \frac{268,596}{1,214} \approx 221.5
Therefore, Rhode Island could fit inside Texas approximately 221.5 times.
