first convert both to either 10^7 form or 10^6 form so that they can be added or subtracted
If u convert both to 10^7, then the amount of rice in brazil will become 0.76 * 10^7 (because you are multiplying by an extra 10, you have to divide the number beside it by 10 to keep the value same)
the difference will be (2.1*10^7-0.76*10^7) subtract 0.76 from 2.1 now that you have both in the same powers of 10. 2.1 -0.76 =1.34
answer is 1.34 *10^7. Understood?

ill type the name
Brazil, china, veitnam, india (part one)
part (ii)
well see here
Veitnam = 21 x 10^6 ( i changed it to power 6 so that it becomes ez to solve ;) )
then Brazil = 7.6 x 10^6
now subtract
21-7.6= 13.4
now put the power to it
13.4 x 10^6
now as it has to be standard form
1.34 x 10 ^7 :D
hope it helps!! :D

Its asking the difference between Population of Vietnam and Brazil,
Its simple, Dont look at the Number being multiplied with 10 rather look at the power of 10! The greater the power the bigger the number. So in this case its Brazil Subtratced by Vietnam.
Now to subtract you have to get both powers of 10 the same thus
You can make 7.6x10^6 to 0.76x10^7
Now simply subtract 0.76 from 2.1 and you'll get 1.34 x10^7.
(The reason we converted to 10^7 was that during addtition or subtraction the answer always has the bigger power of the two numbers being used)

Hope I made some sense
