Jackson 3,664
West Union 3,241
Bethel 2,711
Ripley 1,750
(1 point)
How much greater is the combined population of Ripley and West Union than the population of Georgetown?
To find the combined population of Ripley and West Union, we need to add their populations together. The population of Ripley is 1,750 and the population of West Union is 3,241.
Adding these two populations together:
1,750 + 3,241 = 4,991
Therefore, the combined population of Ripley and West Union is 4,991.
To find out how much greater this combined population is than the population of Georgetown, we subtract the population of Georgetown from the combined population of Ripley and West Union.
4,991 - 4,331 = 660
Therefore, the combined population of Ripley and West Union is 660 greater than the population of Georgetown.
To find out how much greater the combined population of Ripley and West Union is than the population of Georgetown, follow these steps:
1. Add the population of Ripley (1,750) and the population of West Union (3,241) together: 1,750 + 3,241 = 4,991.
2. Subtract the population of Georgetown (4,331) from the combined population of Ripley and West Union: 4,991 - 4,331 = 660.
Therefore, the combined population of Ripley and West Union is 660 greater than the population of Georgetown.
To find how much greater the combined population of Ripley and West Union is than the population of Georgetown, you need to subtract the population of Georgetown from the combined population of Ripley and West Union.
First, calculate the combined population of Ripley and West Union:
Population of Ripley = 1,750
Population of West Union = 3,241
Combined Population of Ripley and West Union = Population of Ripley + Population of West Union
= 1,750 + 3,241
Next, subtract the population of Georgetown from the combined population of Ripley and West Union:
Combined Population of Ripley and West Union - Population of Georgetown
= (1,750 + 3,241) - 4,331
Calculating further:
= 4,991 - 4,331
= 660
Therefore, the combined population of Ripley and West Union is 660 greater than the population of Georgetown.
