Answer 1

Answer:

california by 205.2

Step-by-step explanation:

3.8 times 107=406.6-California

1.9 times 106=201.4-Nebraska

205.2

Answer 2

Answer: The Population of California is larger than the population of Nebraska by 20 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Population of California , $P_C=3.8\times 10^{7}$

and population of Nebraska, $P_N=1.9\times 10^{6}$

From above data it is clear that the population of California is larger than the population of Nebraska

And Ratio, $\frac{P_C}{P_N}=\frac{3.8\times 10^{7}}{1.9\times 10^{6}}=\frac{38}{1.9}=20$

Thus the population of California is larger than the population of Nebraska by 20 times
