Respuesta :

The length of the Mississippi River is 4.26 times as great as the length of Colorado River

The length of Rio Grande is 2.87 times as large as the  length of the Colorado River

The length of the Mississippi River is 1.48 times as large as the Rio Grande River

In order to determine how much greater the length of a river is greater than that of another river, divide the length of longer river by the shorter river

a. Length of the Mississippi River / length of Colorado River

3.93 x 10³ ÷ 9.23 × 10² = 4.26 times

b. Length of the Rio Grande /  length of Colorado River

2.65 x 10³ ÷ 9.23 × 10² = 2.87 times

c. . Length of the Mississippi River / length of the Rio Grande

3.93 x 10³ ÷ 2.65 x 10³ = 1.48 times
