City x has a population of 3 X 10^5 and city Y has a population of 6 X 10^6 which statement correctly describes the relationship between the population of city, X and city Y?

Question

A. The population of city y is two times the population of city X.
B. The population of city y is 20 times the population of city X.
C. The population of city x is 300,000 less than the population of city y
D. The population of city X is 3,000,000 less than the population of city y

Answer 1

B. The population of city Y is 20 times the population of city X.

Explanation:
Population of city X = 3 X 10^5 = 300,000
Population of city Y = 6 X 10^6 = 6,000,000

To calculate the relationship, divide the population of city Y by the population of city X:
6,000,000 / 300,000 = 20

Therefore, the population of city Y is 20 times the population of city X.
