Answer 2

Los Angeles had 61.848 million passengers.

Explanation:

In 2011, Atlanta had approximately 92.365 million passengers flying through its airport.

Los Angeles had 30.517 million fewer passengers than Atlanta.

'Fewer' means 'less', which means we need to subtract 30.517 million from 92.365 million for finding the number of passengers in Los Angeles.

So,
`(92.365-30.517)\ million=61.848\ million`

Hence, Los Angeles had 61.848 million passengers.
