we have
China's population is [tex]1.446*10^{9}[/tex]
Marshall Islands's population is [tex]6.025*10^{4}[/tex]
To find how many times larger is China's population than Marshall Islands's population divide [tex]1.446*10^{9}[/tex] by [tex]6.025*10^{4}[/tex]
so
[tex](1.446*10^{9})/(6.025*10^{4})=\frac{1.446}{6.025} *\frac{10^{9}}{10^{4}} \\= 0.24*10^{5}\\=2 .4*10^{4}[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
[tex]2 .4*10^{4}[/tex]
