Given:

Consider the population of California =
3.9* 10^7

Consider the population of Maine =
1.3* 10^6

To find:

The difference between the population of California and Maine.

Solution:

We have,

Population of California =
3.9* 10^7

Population of Maine =
1.3* 10^6

Difference between the population of California and Maine is

$\text{Difference}=3.9* 10^7-1.3* 10^6$

$\text{Difference}=3.9* 10^7-(0.13* 10)* 10^6$

$\text{Difference}=3.9* 10^7-0.13* 10^7$

$\text{Difference}=(3.9-0.13)* 10^7$

$\text{Difference}=3.77* 10^7$

Therefore, the correct option is D.
