Answer 1

To calculate the population density, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Population Density} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}
\]

Given:
- Population = 748,814,048 people
- Area = 3,930,000 square miles

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Population Density} = \frac{748,814,048}{3,930,000} \approx 190.50 \text{ people per square mile}
\]

Rounding to two decimal places, the population density is approximately **190.54 people per square mile**.

Thus, the correct response is:

**190.54 people per square mile**
