5 x 10^(7)
5 x 10^(8)
5 x 10^(9)
5 x 10^(10)
To find the difference in population between China and India, you subtract India's population from China's population:
1.45 x 10^(9) - 1,400,000,000 = 50,000,000
Therefore, 50,000,000 more people live in China than in India. In scientific notation, this would be 5 x 10^(7).
