Question

In 2016, the city of Rio de Janeiro had a population density of 5377 people/km^2


.
What was the population density of Rio de Janeiro in people per square meter?

Answer 1

To convert from people per square kilometer to people per square meter, we need to divide the population density by 1,000 (since there are 1,000 square meters in a square kilometer).

Population density in people per square meter = 5377 people/km^2 / 1000 = 5.377 people/m^2

Therefore, the population density of Rio de Janeiro in 2016 was 5.377 people per square meter.
