Question

Canada’s population was estimated at 39,292,355 people, and its area is 3,855,100 square miles. Which of the following correctly calculates the population density of Canada?

Answer 1

To calculate the population density of Canada, you can use the following formula:

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

Given that Canada’s population is 39,292,355 people and its area is 3,855,100 square miles, you can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Population Density} = \frac{39,292,355}{3,855,100}
\]

Now, performing the calculation:

\[
\text{Population Density} \approx 10.19 \text{ people per square mile}
\]

So, the population density of Canada is approximately 10.19 people per square mile.
