Answer 1

The first thing that we need to do is simplify the number that is given. That will surely give you an idea about the answer.
2.404 x 10^6 = 2404000
This has to be the population of a place. In regards to this question, the population of Lowa has been represented by the number given. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope the answer helps you.

Answer 2

When 2.404 x 10^6 is expressed in another form, the number is equal to 2,404,000. The population of a place would possibly be around this number. It cannot be the diameter of an atom since the number is too large not the thickness of a paper. It is not a common case also that the money in a bank account is around this number. Answer is A.
