Question

The estimated population of Fiji in 2019 was about 9 x 10^5. The estimated population of Gibraltar in the same year was about 3 x 10^4. About how many times greater was the population of Fiji than Gibraltar

Answer 1

30 times greater.

Explanation:

We divide:

9 * 10^5 / 3 * 10^4

= 9/3 * 10^(5-4)

= 3 * 10^1

= 30.
