1 answer

To find out how many more people live in NY than in Oregon, we need to calculate the difference in population between the two states.

Population of NY = 2.4 x 10^7
Population of Oregon = 4 x 10^5

Difference = Population of NY - Population of Oregon
Difference = (2.4 x 10^7) - (4 x 10^5)
Difference = 24,000,000 - 400,000
Difference = 23,600,000

Therefore, there are 23,600,000 more people living in NY than in Oregon.
