Question

Question 7 The population of Greens County is 2.4 x 106. The population of Brownsville is 800,000. How many times larger is the population of Greens County than Brownsville's population?

Answer 1

Given:

The population of Greens County is,

`P=2.4*10^6`

The population of Brownsville is

`p=800,000`

Now, we will find how many times larger is the poulation of Greens County's than Brownsville's.

For that the ratio of the poulations is to be taken.

`\begin{gathered} (P)/(p)=(2.4*10^6)/(800000) \\ (P)/(p)=(2.4*1000000)/(800000) \\ (P)/(p)=(2400000)/(800000) \\ (P)/(p)=3 \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`P=3p`

Hence, the poulation of Greens County's is 3 times larger than Brownsville's.

Answer: 3
