population of Town A than the population of
Town B?

Answer 1

The population of Town A is 4.5 times greater than the population of Town B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of Town A is 1.26 × 105 people, and the population of Town B is 2.8 x 104 people.

To find how many times greater the population of Town A is than the population of Town B, we divide the population of Town A by the population of Town B.

Population ratio = (Population of Town A) / (Population of Town B)

Population ratio = (1.26 × 105) / (2.8 x 104) = 4.5

Therefore, the population of Town A is 4.5 times greater than the population of Town B.
