Question

In an investigation of population density in Africa, it was found that the density was 15 people/km2. How many people would you expect to find in an area of 1500 by 1.4km?

Answer 1

31,500

Explanation:

Multiply the population density by area to get the total population in an area

Density = 15 per km²

Area = 1500 x 1.4 = 2100 km²

Population in 2100 km² = 15 x 2100 = 31,500
