Answer: there are approximately 7.36 x 10^5 more people living in New Hampshire than in Vermont.

Explanation:

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

Population of New Hampshire: 1.36 x 10^6

Population of Vermont: 6.24 x 10^5

To subtract these values, we subtract the populations as follows:

1.36 x 10^6 - 6.24 x 10^5 = (1.36 - 0.624) x 10^6 = 0.736 x 10^6

Since 0.736 is less than 1, we can rewrite it in scientific notation as 7.36 x 10^5.
