Answer 1

The population of Denmark = 5, 190,000

Population of Sweden is

$1\frac{11}{16}$

times the population of denmark.

So, we do the multiplication:

$\begin{gathered} 5,190,000\times1\frac{11}{16} \\ =5,190,000\times\frac{27}{16} \\ =8,758,125 \end{gathered}$

The population of Sweden is 8, 758, 125
