To find out how many more people live in China than in India, we can subtract the population of India from the population of China.
China's population is approximately 1.45×10^9, and India's population is approximately 1,400,000,000.
So, the calculation would be:
1.45×10^9 - 1,400,000,000 = 5×10^7
Therefore, there are 5×10^7 (or 50,000,000) more people living in China than in India.
To find out how many more people live in China than in India, we need to calculate the difference between the populations of the two countries.
China's population is approximately 1.45×10^9, which means 1.45 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 9 (1.45 billion).
India's population is approximately 1,400,000,000, or simply 1.4 billion.
To find the difference, we subtract India's population from China's population:
1.45×10^9 - 1.4×10^9 = 0.05×10^9
Now, we need to convert 0.05×10^9 to a more simplified form. Since 10 raised to the power of 9 (10^9) means "one billion," we can divide both 0.05 and 10^9 by 10^9 to simplify the expression:
0.05×10^9 / 10^9 = 0.05
Therefore, China has 0.05 billion (or 50 million) more people than India.
So the answer is 5×10^7, which means 5 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 7.
