A suburban city has a population of 58,000 people. It has an area of 22 mi2. What is the population density in terms of people per square mile?

Respuesta :

58,000 people / 22 mi^2 = 2636.36 people per mi^2

Answer: 2636.36 people per square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The population in suburban city = 58,000

The area of suburban city =[tex]22\ mi^2[/tex]

We know that the population density in a city is given by :_

[tex]\text{Population density}=\frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Population density}=\frac{58,000}{22}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Population density}=2636.36363636\approx2636.36 \text{people per square mile}[/tex]

Hence, the the population density = 2636.36 people per square mile
