Recently in the United States, there were about 300,000,000 cell phone users. That same year, there were about [tex]5.7 \times 10^9[/tex] cell phone users worldwide.
About how many times larger was the number of cell phone users worldwide than in the United States?
Please provide steps.

US: 3 x 10^8 5.7 x 10^9 / 3 x 10^8 = 19
U S u sers u sers w or l d w i d e 300000000 5700000000 19
The number of cell phone users worldwide is about 19 times larger than the number in the United States. This is calculated by dividing 5.7 × 10^9 by 300,000,000, which simplifies to approximately 19. Therefore, globally, there are significantly more cell phone users compared to the U.S.
