To accurately compare the populations of Utah and Wyoming, we need to refer to their estimated population statistics.
As of recent estimates, the population of Utah is approximately 3.3 million, while the population of Wyoming is around 580,000.
To compare:
– The population of Utah (3.3 million) is roughly 5.7 times the population of Wyoming (580,000).
– Conversely, the population of Wyoming is about 0.18 times the population of Utah.
Based on the options provided:
– O The population of Wyoming is about 2 times the population of Utah. (Incorrect)
– O The population of Utah is about 5 times the population of Wyoming. (Closest, but not exact)
– O The population of Wyoming is about 20 times the population of Utah. (Incorrect)
– O The population of Utah is about 0.5 times the population of Wyoming. (Incorrect)
Therefore, while “The population of Utah is about 5 times the population of Wyoming” is not exact, it is the closest option available. However, both states have populations that do not fit neatly into those comparisons due to their actual counts.
