The population in the United States is approximately 3.2× 10^8. A total of 1.4 × 10^6 people immigrated to the United States. Determine the population of the United States that did not immigrate. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.186 x 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

3.2× 10^8 = 320,000,000

1.4 × 10^6 = 1,400,000

320,000,000 - 1,400,000 = 318,600,000

318,600,000 = 3.186 x 10^8

   - you get to the power of eight, by counting the amount of spaces the decimal moved over (moving to the left increase, but right decreases)
