In 2012, the population of NY was about 2.4 x 10^7 and the population of Oregon was 4x10^5. What is the total population of the two states?

1 answer

To find the total population of both states, simply add the populations of NY and Oregon together:

2.4 x 10^7 + 4 x 10^5
= 24,000,000 + 400,000
= 24,400,000

Therefore, the total population of NY and Oregon is 24.4 million.
