To find the number of times larger the population of the United States is compared to Canada, we divide the population of the United States by the population of Canada:
3.1 × 10^8 / 3.38 × 10^7 = 9.17
Therefore, the population of the United States was about 9.17 times larger than that of Canada in 2011.
