Look at the area of each, and mentally multiply each area by 3.
Ontario is way large
Sas is small
BC is about 4
Nun is way small.
a) A population density closest to that of Canada
The chart:
Province: Ontario
Population: 12 393 ooo
Area (km2): 917 700
Province: Saskatchewan
Population: 995 000
Area (km2): 591 700
Province: British Colombia
Population: 4 196 000
Area (km2) : 925 200
Province: Nunavut
Population: 29 600
Area(km2): 1 939 000
Ontario is way large
Sas is small
BC is about 4
Nun is way small.
To determine the population density, we can use the formula:
Population Density = Population / Area
Let's calculate the population density for each province or territory:
1. Ontario:
Population Density = 12,393,000 / 917,700 ≈ 13.5 persons/km2
2. Saskatchewan:
Population Density = 995,000 / 591,700 ≈ 1.68 persons/km2
3. British Columbia:
Population Density = 4,196,000 / 925,200 ≈ 4.54 persons/km2
4. Nunavut:
Population Density = 29,600 / 1,939,000 ≈ 0.015 persons/km2
Comparing the calculated population densities with Canada's population density (3.5 persons/km2), we can see that British Columbia has a population density (4.54 persons/km2) closest to that of Canada.
