In this problem it
states that one tenth or only 10% is Canada’s population to the United States.
Hence with the steps we
can identify the population of the United States.
<span><span>1.
</span>10 %
= 32 million or 0.1 = 32 million</span>
<span><span>2.
</span>Then 32
million / 0.1 = 320, 000, 000 million</span>
Therefore there are 320,
000, 000 million living in the United States
Adding one zero. Why the zeroes? It is
the result because of the power of 10 in a hundred percent population coming
from the Canada’s population. Take note that 100% = 320, 000, 000 million of
the USA while 10% of it is Canada so we divide it by 0.1 which is 32, 000, 000
(the power of ten)
