While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: * Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia. * The city's population is 907,802. * Ulaanbaatar contains 31.98 percent of Mongolia's population. * Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam. * The city's population is 7,781,631. * Hanoi contains 8.14 percent of Vietnam's population. The student wants to emphasize the relative sizes of the two capitals' populations. Which choice most effectively uses information from the given sentences to emphasize the relative sizes of the two capitals' populations?

Difficulty: Hard

Mongolia's capital is Ulaanbaatar, which has 907,802 people, and Vietnam's capital is Hanoi, which has 7,781,631 people.

Comparing Vietnam and Mongolia, 7,781,631 is 8.14 percent of Vietnam's population, and 907,802 is 31.98 percent of Mongolia's.

The populations of the capitals of Mongolia and Vietnam are 907,802 (Ulaanbaatar) and 7,781,631 (Hanoi), respectively.
