The population of Wyoming is about
0.1 times the population of Colorado and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operation.
Given :
There are about [tex]5\times 10^5[/tex] people living in Wyoming.
There are about 5,000,000 people living in Colorado.
The following steps can be used to determine the population of Wyoming is about times the population of Colorado:
Step 1 - The total population of Wyoming is:
= [tex]5\times 10^5[/tex]
Step 2 - The total population of Colorado is:
= [tex]5\times 10^6[/tex]
Step 3 - Now, let the population of Wyoming be about 'x' times the population of Colorado that is:
[tex]5\times 10^5 = x \times 5 \times 10^6[/tex]
Step 4 - Simplify the above equation in order to determine the value of 'x'.
1 = 10x
x = 0.1
So, the population of Wyoming is about
0.1 times the population of Colorado.
