a)
Here the question is asking "how much larger is the population of North Carolina than South Carolina". This means that we have to compare the absolute value of the population of North Carolina with the population of South Caroline.
We have:
NC = 9,535,483 is the population of North Carolina
SC = 4,625,364 is the population of South Carolina
In order two compare the two, we have to calculated the difference between NC and SC. Plugging into a calculator, we get:
So, North Carolina has 4,910,119 more people than South Carolina.
b)
In this question, we are asked "how many times larger is North Carolina’s population than South Carolina’s population". This is equivalent to ask what is the ratio between the population of North Carolina to that of South Carolina.
As we said before, we have:
NC = 9,535,483 is the population of North Carolina
SC = 4,625,364 is the population of South Carolina
And by calculating the ratio, we find:
So, the population of North Carolina is 2.06 times larger than that of South Carolina.
