To verify if your answer is correct, we need to calculate the ratio of the population of Texas to Vermont.

Population of Texas: 24.8 million
Population of Vermont: 0.6 million

To find the ratio, divide the population of Texas by the population of Vermont:

Ratio = Population of Texas / Population of Vermont
Ratio = 24.8 million / 0.6 million
Ratio = 41.33333333333333333333333333

Since the question asks for the answer rounded to the nearest tenth, the ratio is indeed approximately 41.3.

Therefore, your answer of 41 is correct.

To find out how many times as many people live in Texas than in Vermont, you need to divide the population of Texas by the population of Vermont.

Population of Texas: 24.8 million
Population of Vermont: 0.6 million

Dividing the population of Texas by the population of Vermont:
24.8 million / 0.6 million = 41.333...

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the answer would be 41.3, not 41.

So, your answer of 41.333 (41) is incorrect. The correct answer is approximately 41.3.
