Answer 1

The answer is option C) 4.037 x 10^7.

Explanation:

To find out how many more people live in California than in Vermont, we need to subtract the population of Vermont from the population of California.

The population of California is 4.1 x 10^7.

The population of Vermont is 6.3 x 10^5.

Therefore, the difference in population between California and Vermont is:

4.1 x 10^7 - 6.3 x 10^5

= 4.037 x 10^7

So, about 4.037 x 10^7 more people live in California than in Vermont.

The answer is option C) 4.037 x 10^7.
