Question

the population of alaska is approximately 6.5 * 10^(5) people the populatio of illinois's is about 1.3 * 10^(7)people. how many times greater is the population of Illinois in the population of Alaska

Answer 1

20 times greater

Explanation:

Given the following

Population of alaska = 6.5 * 10^(5) people

Population of illinois's = 1.3 * 10^(7)people.

To know the number of times population of Illinois in the population of Alaska, we will take their population ratio;

Ratio = Population of illinois's /Population of alaska

Ratio = 1.3 * 10^(7)/6.5 * 10^(5)

Ratio = 0.2 * 10^7-5

Ratio = 0.2 * 10^2

Ratio = 20

Hence the population of Illinois is 20 times greater than population of alaska
