China and India are the most populous countries in the world. China's population is approximately 1.45 * 10 ^ 9 while India's population is approximately 1,400,000,000. How many more people live in China than in India? (1 point)
O 5 * 10 ^ 8
O 5 * 10 ^ 9
O 5 * 10 ^ 10
O 5 * 10 ^ 7
To find out how many more people live in China than in India, we subtract the population of India from the population of China.
China's population = 1.45 * 10^9
India's population = 1,400,000,000
Population difference = China's population - India's population
= (1.45 * 10^9) - (1,400,000,000)
= 4,500,000
Therefore, the correct answer is:
O 5 * 10^6
Wrong
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's calculate the correct answer.
China's population = 1.45 * 10^9
India's population = 1,400,000,000
To find the difference in population, we subtract the population of India from the population of China:
China's - India's = (1.45 * 10^9) - (1,400,000,000)
= 5 * 10^7
Therefore, the correct answer is:
O 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 approximately 1.45 * 10^9 (1.45 billion).
India's population is approximately 1,400,000,000 (1.4 billion).
So, to calculate the difference, we subtract India's population from China's population:
1.45 * 10^9 - 1,400,000,000 = 1.45 * 10^9 - 1.4 * 10^9 = 0.05 * 10^9 = 0.05 billion.
This means that there are 0.05 billion more people in China compared to India.
Since 0.05 billion can also be written as 5 * 10^7, the correct answer is option: O 5 * 10^7.
