Answer 2

Answer: About 41.3 times

Explanation:

Given : The number of people live in Texas = 24.8 million

The number of people live in Vermont = 0.6 million

Now, the fraction of the number of people live in Texas and number of people live in Vermont will be :-

`\frac{24.8\text{ million}}{\text{ 0.6 million}}\\\\\=(248)/(6)=41.3333333333\approx41.3 \ \ [\text{Rounded to the nearest tenth}]`

Hence, the people live in Texas is about 41.3 times more than Vermont.
