Answer 1

Answer:

The number of people living in both countries is 1.704 x 10⁹

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Population of people in China, = 1.381 x 10⁹

Population of people in united states, = 3.23 x 10⁸

The total number of people living in both countries is given as;

Total population = 1.381 x 10⁹ + 3.23 x 10⁸

Total population = 1.381 x 10⁹ +  0.323 x 10⁹

Total population = (1.381 + 0.323) x 10⁹

Total population = 1.704 x 10⁹

Therefore, the number of people living in both countries is 1.704 x 10⁹
