The population of california is approximately 4 people. the population of south dakota is approximately 800,000 people. the population of california is about how many times the population of south dakota?

The population of California is about 5 times the population of south Dakota

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x > the population of California

y > the population of south Dakota

we have

x=4,000,000 people

y=800,000 people

Divide the population of California by the population of south Dakota, to find out how many times the population of South Dakota is the population of California

so

x/y

substitute

4,000,000/800,000=5

therefore

The population of California is about 5 times the population of south Dakota

true statements:

a) x + y = y + x   ⇒ commutative property of addition

b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication

d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

false statements:

c) x - y = y - x   should be: x - y = - y + x

e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)

step-by-step explanation:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
