Question

The gross domestic product (GDP) of France is about $2.00 × 10 12 12 , and the GDP of Tuvalu is about $4.00 × 10 7 7 . How many times larger is the GDP of France than the GDP of Tuvalu?

Answer 1

Answer:

France's GDP is 50 000 times larger than Tuvalu's GDP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of France = $2.0 x $10^{12}$

            Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Tuvalu = $4.0 x $10^{7}$

To determine the number of times in which the GDP of France is greater than that of Tuvalu, divide the GDP of France by the GDP of Tuvalu.

$\frac{2.0*10^{12} }{4.0*10^{7} }$ = $\frac{2000000000000}{40000000}$

           = $\frac{200000}{4}$

           = 50000

Therefore, France's GDP is 50 000 times larger than Tuvalu's GDP.
