Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
City X = 3 * 10^5 Given
City Y = 6 * 10^6
Times larger
6 * 10^6
3 * 10^5
Do the division
6*10^6/3^10^5 = 60 * 10^5/(3 * 10^5) Note 10^5 will cancel
60/3 = 20 City y is 20 times City x
Population Difference
6,000,000
300,000
5,700,000
Just from the numbers I've given you, A is incorrect. The answer is 20 not 2.
B is the answer
C is wrong. X is 5.7 million less.
D See the answer for C.
The general equation is that for every red tile, there must be 12 blue ones.
Algebraically this is expressed as b = 12r where r is red and b is blue. Your teacher might like you to express it as y = 12x where y is blue and x is red. The meaning is the same.
For beginners it might be easier to say b = 12r. So if you have 15 reds then r = 15
b = 12 * r
b = 12 * 15
b = 180 blue tiles.
