[edit] Land area?
So, if the land area is 19%, shouldn't the one section say one-fifth instead of one-third? Chris857 (talk) 21:54, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, 29% is correct. I accidentally typed 19% in the edit summary and another editor assumed that was what I meant. older ≠ wiser 22:14, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

- The total land area of the entire state is 56,804 sq mi; the land area of the UP is 16,419 sq mi; 16,419/56,804 is 29%. If you want to compare total area (land and water), the state of Michigan is 96,716 sq mi and the UP is 36,140 sq mi; 36,140/96,716 is 37%. older ≠ wiser 22:52, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- I had posted here and edited and then reverted myself on both. Forgot that land area is very different than area; doubly so for Michigan. North8000 (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- I relied on BK's edit summary, and noted the discrepancy. Looks like that is now resolved. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:20, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
