Of the 50 state in the united state, 8 states have a population of one million people or fewer.Make a plan and write an addition equation to show that the sum of the state with more than one million people and the states whith one million people or fewer is equal to 50. Then solve the equation to find the number of state with more than one million people. Show your work
To solve this problem, we can make an addition equation to represent the given information. Let's assume the number of states with more than one million people is x. We know that there are 8 states with a population of one million people or fewer.
The total number of states is 50, so the equation would be:
x + 8 = 50
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides:
x = 50 - 8
x = 42
Therefore, there are 42 states in the United States with a population of more than one million people.
