The population of Africa is [tex]6.582 \times 10^{14}[/tex] people. The population of Australia is [tex]4.32 \times 10^{14}[/tex] people. How many times the population of Australia is the population of Africa?

Answer (2)

so austraia times x=africa=(4.32 10^14)x=6.582 10^14 to find x, we divde both sides by (4.32 10^14) so x=(6.582 10^14)/(4.32*10^14) we know that the exponents will cancel out {([10^14]/[10^14])=1} so x=6.582/4.32 if you do this on a calculator you get 6.582/4.32=1.5=x so autralia times 1.5=africa

The population of Africa is approximately 1.52 times the population of Australia. This was determined by dividing the population of Africa by the population of Australia after cancelling out the common exponent. The calculation yields x ≈ 1.52 .
