Question

The population of California is approximately 3.8 × 107, and the population of Nebraska is approximately 1.9 × 106. Which state has the larger population, and by how many times is its population larger than the other state’s?

Answer 1

california by 205.2

Explanation:

3.8 times 107=406.6-California

1.9 times 106=201.4-Nebraska

205.2

Answer 2

Answer: The Population of California is larger than the population of Nebraska by 20 times

Explanation:

Given

Population of California ,
`P_C=3.8* 10^(7)`

and population of Nebraska,
`P_N=1.9* 10^(6)`

From above data it is clear that the population of California is larger than the population of Nebraska

And Ratio,
`(P_C)/(P_N)=(3.8* 10^(7))/(1.9* 10^(6))=(38)/(1.9)=20`

Thus the population of California is larger than the population of Nebraska by 20 times
