The population of a country is 52,568,472 people, and its area is 482,594 square miles. Which of the following correctly calculates the population density of the country?

Answer 1

To calculate the population density of a country, you divide the population by the area. The formula is:

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

In this case:

• Population = 52,568,472 people
• Area = 482,594 square miles

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Population Density} = \frac{52,568,472}{482,594} \]

Now, performing the calculation:

\[ \text{Population Density} \approx 108.06 \text{ people per square mile} \]

So, the population density of the country is approximately 108.06 people per square mile.
