Answer 1

To find out how many more people live in China than in India, we can subtract the population of India from the population of China.

China's population = 1.45×10^9
India's population = 1,400,000,000

China's population - India's population = 1.45×10^9 - 1,400,000,000

Using scientific notation, we can express both populations as 1.45×10^9.

So, the answer is 5×10^8. Therefore, 5×10^8 more people live in China than in India.
