The populations of two towns, town A and town B, are being compared. The population of town A is 4×104 and the population of B is 2×105. How many times greater is the population of town B than town A? 0.2

0.5

2

5

0.2

You have to first write out the numbers. Once you write them out, you are going to put 4x10^4 over 2x10^5 (so divide.) You are first going to divide the base numbers 4/2= 2. Then you are going to divide the powers of 10. 10^4/10^5 ( you just subtract the exponents), 10^-1. Your final equation will be 2x 10^-1. Finally put it in standard notation, 0.2.

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3
