GPT 3.5
To find out how many times larger the population of California was compared to Rhode Island, we divide the population of California by the population of Rhode Island:
4 × 10^7 / 1 × 10^6 = 4 × 10^(7-6) = 4 × 10^1 = 40
Therefore, the population of California was 40 times larger than the population of Rhode Island.
4 × 10^7 / 1 × 10^6 = 4 × 10^(7-6) = 4 × 10^1 = 40
Therefore, the population of California was 40 times larger than the population of Rhode Island.
