Answer: 5 million square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The area of Atlantic Ocean = 32 million square units.

The area of the Arctic Ocean is 16% of the area of the Atlantic Ocean .

We can rewrite 16% as 0.16 [We divide percent by 100 to convert it into decimal.]

Then, the area of the Arctic Ocean will be :_

\(\text{32 million}\times0.16=5.12\text{ million}\\\\=5\text{ million}\)

Hence, the area of the Arctic Ocean is 5 million square units.
