The percent of the area covered by the first sea is covered by the second is approximately 51.43%. To solve this, you simply divide the area of the first sea (70 million) by the area of the second (36 million). This looks like this: 36000000/70000000. To simplify, you use the ratio 36/70, which will get you the same answer.
