Question:-

Canada has a population that is about 1/10 as large as the United States. If Canada's population is about 32 million, about how many people live in the United States? Explain the number of zeros in your the answer.

Solution:-

Given,

Population of Canada = 32 million (1/10 of that of the USA)

=> Let the population of the USA be 'x'.

Now,

→ x/10 + 32 (million)

→ x = 32 × 10

→ x = 320 million.

(The number of zeros in 1 million is 6, so the number of zeros in 320 million will be 7)

Answer:-

320000000 or 320 million.
