Use the following formula: population density = population / area

Enter your answer as a whole number in the box. Round your answer to the nearest thousand.

Answer 1

The population is 3,000 to the nearest thousand

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate population density

Mathematically;

Population density = population/ area

form the question;

population = 4.2 * 10^5

area = 1.32 * 10^2 square miles

Population density = (4.2 * 10^5)/(1.32 * 10^2)

3.2 * 10^3

which as a whole number will be 3200

To the nearest thousand, this is 3000
