Question

According to the Census Bureau, in 2014 California had an estimated population of 3.88 × 10^7 and Wyoming had a population of 5.84 × 10^5. Complete the following sentences.

Answer 1

• 3.8216 x 10⁷

,

• 6.64 x 10¹

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of Carlifornia= 3.88 x 10⁷

The population of Wyoming= 5.84 x 10⁵.

Part A

The difference in their population is:

`\begin{gathered} =(3.88*10^7)-(5.84*10^5) \\ =3.8216*10^7 \end{gathered}`

The population of California is 3.8216 x 10⁷ more than the population of Wyoming.

Part B

The quotient of their population is:

`\begin{gathered} =(3.88*10^7)/(5.84*10^5) \\ =6.64*10^1 \end{gathered}`

The population of California is 6.64 x 10¹ times the population of Wyoming.
