The populations of Cities A and B are 3.7 times 10 Superscript 5 and 2 comma 115 comma 000​, respectively. The population of City C is twice the population of City B.
The population of City C is how many times the population of City​ A?

We are given the following information:

- Population of City A: \( 3.7 \times 10^5 \)
- Population of City B: \( 2,115,000 \)
- Population of City C is twice the population of City B.

We are asked to find how many times the population of City C is compared to City A.

### Step 1: Calculate the population of City C
The population of City C is twice that of City B:
\[
\text{Population of City C} = 2 \times 2,115,000 = 4,230,000
\]

### Step 2: Set up the ratio
Now we need to find the ratio of the population of City C to the population of City A:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Population of City C}}{\text{Population of City A}} = \frac{4,230,000}{3.7 \times 10^5}
\]

### Step 3: Perform the calculation
We first convert \( 3.7 \times 10^5 \) to standard form:
\[
3.7 \times 10^5 = 370,000
\]

Now, we divide the populations:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{4,230,000}{370,000} = 11.4324
\]

Thus, the population of City C is approximately **11.43 times** the population of City A.

Here are some related questions:
1. What is the growth rate if City A's population increases by 5% annually?
2. If City B's population decreases by 10%, what will its new population be?
3. How would you calculate the total population of the three cities combined?
4. If City C doubles again in population, how many times the population of City A will it be?
5. How would the ratio change if City A's population grows by 50%?

**Tip:** When comparing populations, always express numbers in the same format (standard or scientific notation) to avoid confusion and errors.
