Respuesta :

Given :

New York City has a population of 8.55 million and 300 square mile area .

Manhattan has 1.64 million and 23 square miles area .

To Find :

How much greater is the population density of Manhattan than New York City.

Solution :

Population density of New York City :

[tex]D_{NY}=\dfrac{8.55}{300}=0.029 \ million/mile^2\\\\D_{M}=\dfrac{1.64}{23}=0.071 \ million/mile^2[/tex]

Now ,

[tex]D_{M}-D_{NY}\\\\(0.071-0.029)=0.042\ million/miles^2[/tex]

Therefore , population density of Manhattan is [tex]0.042\ million/miles^2[/tex] greater than New York City .

Hence , this is the required solution .
