Question

The population of Columbus, Ohio, in 2014 was about 823,000. The population of the United States was about 319 million in 2014. About how many times larger was the population of the United States than the population of Columbus, Ohio?

Answer 1

388 times larger than Columbus, Ohio.

Answer 2

387.60

Explanation:

The population of Columbus, Ohio, in 2014 (P) = 823000

The population of United States in 2014 (U) = 319000000

To find out that how many times larger was the population of the United States than the population of Columbus, Ohio, all we need to do is divide population of United States in 2014 by population of Columbus, Ohio.

Thus,

`(U)/(P) =(319000000)/(823000)`

`(U)/(P) =387.60`

Thus the population of US will be 387.60 times larger than the population of Columbus, Ohio, in 2014.
