Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 8.19 x 108 (letter C).

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about factorization.

In any math expression, sometimes there are equal terms. A term is just a variable and a coefficient. Also a variable may be just a number.

When there are two equal numbers or two equal variables, we can factorize them. This factor will multiply other expression inside in the parentheses.

In this case, we have two numbers, 5.15 x 108 and 3.04 x 108. Both numbers have the 108 equal. Also, we have to add the North America population with the South America population.

Factoring by 108:

$5.15*108+3.04*108\\108*(5.15+3.04)\\8.19*108$

Finally, the answer is 8.19 x 108 (letter C).
