Verified Answer :

Wyoming’s population is
equals to:

=> 5 x 10^5

Colorado’s population is equals to

=> 5 000 000

Now, we need to find the answer which population is greater. First, let’s
solve the Wyoming’s population:

=> 5 x 10^5

=> 5 x (10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10)

=> 5 x 100 000

=> 500 000

=> Colorado vs Wyoming = 5 000 000 vs 500 000

Thus, Wyoming population is 0.1 times the population of Colorado.

=> 5 000 000 x 0.1 = 500 000
