Answer 1

58,000 people / 22 mi^2 = 2636.36 people per mi^2

Answer 2

Answer: 2636.36 people per square mile

Explanation:

Given: The population in suburban city = 58,000

The area of suburban city =
`22\ mi^2`

We know that the population density in a city is given by :_

`\text{Population density}=\frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Population density}=(58,000)/(22)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Population density}=2636.36363636\approx2636.36 \text{people per square mile}`

Hence, the the population density = 2636.36 people per square mile
