Question

Calculate the population density of a city if 2,500 people live there and its

size is 10 square miles

Answer 1

The population density is "250 per square mile".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Number of people,

= 2,500

Land area,

= 10 square miles

Now,

The population density will be:

=
`(Number \ of \ people)/(Land \ area)`

On substituting the given values, we get

=
`(2,500)/(10)`

=
`250`/ square mile
