Answer 1

Answer:

D.

7.68 × 108

Step-by-step explanation:

World population in 2013 was about 7.125 billion

In 2003 , it was about 6.357 billion

Increase = 2013 population- 2003 population

That’s 7.125 billion - 6.357 billion = 0.768 billion

A billion has 9 zeros. When you move The point one place to the right , it reduces the number of zeros by one. you now have

7.68 x 10^8
