To correct the false statement, we can simply change "three" to "four."

2. The territory of the country is large: 2400 square miles (transform it into square kilometres: l mile 1609 km).

To calculate the territory in square kilometers, we need to multiply 2400 square miles by the conversion factor of 1 mile = 1.609 kilometers.

2400 square miles * 1.609 kilometers/mile = 3861.6 square kilometers.

The correct statement is: The territory of the country is 3861.6 square kilometers.
