Respuesta :

the answer is  
           people
7047   ---------
             km^2


The population of a major U.S. city = 8,550,405

Area of the city = 1213.4 sq.km

Density = [tex] \frac{Population}{area} [/tex]

Density = [tex] \frac{8,550,405}{1213.4} [/tex]

Density = 7046.6499 [tex] \frac{People}{km^{2}} [/tex]

As the density here will not be in decimal so after rounding the density in whole number,

Density = 7047 [tex] \frac{People}{km^{2}} [/tex]

Option A is the answer
