Question

Canada has a population of about 32 million. The population of the United States is 10 times larger. How many people live in the United States? Explain the number of zeros in your answer.

Answer 1

People live in the U.S. = 320000000

Explanation:

Below is the calculation of a number of people who live in the United States.

Since it is given that the population of the U.S is 10 times larger than Canada's population. So, multiply the Canadas population by 10 in order to get the U.S. population.

Canada population = 32 million or 32000000

Thus the U.S. population = 32000000 x 10 = 320000000
