Population density is the number of people per unit of area.

What is the population density of a state that has 1,627,260 people in 1,490 square miles?

Round to the nearest whole number.

Asked by Boa

Answer (2)

If state has 1627260 people and 1490 square miles, then we divide the number of people by the area and we get the density per square mile.
1627260 / 1490 = 1092,120805369128
After rounding it to the nearest whole number we get 1092 .
The answer: In such a state 1092 people live in a square mile.
