The correct answer is 5×10^7.
To find out how many more people live in China than in India, we can subtract India's population from China's population:
China's population: 1.45×10^9
India's population: 1,400,000,000
Subtracting India's population from China's population:
1.45×10^9 - 1,400,000,000 = 5×10^7
Therefore, the answer is 5×10^7.
To find out how many more people live in China than in India, we need to subtract the population of India from the population of China.
China's population is given as approximately 1.45×10^9, which can be written as 1.45 * 10^9.
India's population is given as approximately 1,400,000,000, which can be written as 1.4 * 10^9.
Now, let's subtract the population of India from the population of China:
1.45 * 10^9 - 1.4 * 10^9 = 0.05 * 10^9
Since 0.05 is the same as 5 * 10^(-1), we can also write the above expression as:
5 * 10^(-1) * 10^9 = 5 * 10^8
Therefore, the correct answer is 5×10^8.
