Given:
Consider the population of California = [tex]3.9\times 10^7[/tex]
Consider the population of Maine = [tex]1.3\times 10^6[/tex]
To find:
The difference between the population of California and Maine.
Solution:
We have,
Population of California = [tex]3.9\times 10^7[/tex]
Population of Maine = [tex]1.3\times 10^6[/tex]
Difference between the population of California and Maine is
[tex]\text{Difference}=3.9\times 10^7-1.3\times 10^6[/tex]
[tex]\text{Difference}=3.9\times 10^7-(0.13\times 10)\times 10^6[/tex]
[tex]\text{Difference}=3.9\times 10^7-0.13\times 10^7[/tex]
[tex]\text{Difference}=(3.9-0.13)\times 10^7[/tex]
[tex]\text{Difference}=3.77\times 10^7[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is D.
