Answer:

2a) The population of the US is 281 million more than the population of Republica

2b) The population of the U.S. is 638.6% more than the population of

Republica

2c) The population of Republica is 0.1 times the size of the population of the US

2d) The population of Republica is 13.5% of the population of the US

Explanations:

From the table given:

Population size of the US = 325 million

Population size of Republica = 44 million

The population of the US is how many people more than the population of Republica?

Difference in the population of US and Republica = 325 million - 44 million

Difference in the population of US and Republica = 281 million

The population of the US is 281 million more than the population of Republica

The population of the US is what percentage more than the population of Republica?


\begin{gathered} \text{ \% increase = }\frac{Increase}{\operatorname{Re}publica^(\prime)s\text{ Population }}*\text{ 100 \%} \\ \text{ \% increase = }(281)/(44)*\text{ 100 \%} \\ \text{ \% increase = }6.386\text{ }*\text{ 100 \%} \\ \text{ \% increase = 638.6 \%} \end{gathered}

2c) The population of Republica is how many times the size of the population of the US

Population of Republica = 44 million

Population size of the US = 325 million

Ratio of the population of Republica to that of the US =

44 million / 325 million

Ratio of the population of Republica to that of the US = 0.1 (1 dp)

The population of Republica is 0.1 times the size of the population of the US

2d) The population of Republica is what percentage of the population of the United States


\begin{gathered} \text{ \% population of Republica to that of the US = }(44)/(325)*100\text{ \%} \\ \text{ \% population of Republica to that of the US =}13.5\text{ \%} \end{gathered}

The population of Republica is 13.5% of the population of the US
