The population of Rhode Island is approximately 1.059 x 10 to the sixth power, while the population of the Earth is approximately 7.753 x 10 the 9th power. About how many times larger is earth's population

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 7.321 × 10³

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of Rhode Island:

  • 1.059 × 10⁶

The population of the Earth:

  • 7.753 × 10⁹

About how many times larger is earth's population:

  • 7.753 × 10⁹ ÷ 1.059 × 10⁶ = 7.753/1.059 × 10⁹⁻⁶ ≈ 7.321 × 10³

Let's solve :

  • [tex] \dfrac{7.753 \times {10}^{9} }{1.059 \times 10 {}^{6} } [/tex]

  • [tex]7.321\times 10 {}^{3} [/tex]

  • [tex] \approx7321[/tex]

hence, population Earth is approximately 7321 times the population of Rhode Island.
