a) 0.614 times 10⁶

b) 0.614 times 10⁷

c) 0.614 times 10⁸

d) 0.614 times 10⁹

Answer 1

The population of Austria is 0.614 x 10^6 more than the population of Switzerland.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference in population between Austria and Switzerland, we need to subtract the population of Switzerland from the population of Austria.

Population of Austria = 8.397 x 106

Population of Switzerland = 7.783 x 106

Difference in population = Population of Austria - Population of Switzerland

Difference in population = (8.397 x 106) - (7.783 x 106)

Difference in population = 0.614 x 106

Therefore, the population of Austria is 0.614 x 106 more than the population of Switzerland.
