Question 7 The population of Greens County is 2.4 x 106. The population of Brownsville is 800,000. How many times larger is the population of Greens County than Brownsville's population?

Respuesta :

Given:

The population of Greens County is,

[tex]P=2.4\times10^6[/tex]

The population of Brownsville is

[tex]p=800,000[/tex]

Now, we will find how many times larger is the poulation of Greens County's than Brownsville's.

For that the ratio of the poulations is to be taken.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{P}{p}=\frac{2.4\times10^6}{800000} \\ \frac{P}{p}=\frac{2.4\times1000000}{800000} \\ \frac{P}{p}=\frac{2400000}{800000} \\ \frac{P}{p}=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]P=3p[/tex]

Hence, the poulation of Greens County's is 3 times larger than Brownsville's.

Answer: 3
