Paris is one of the most densely populated cities in the world with 53,000 people per square mile. If 58,406,000 people live in Paris, how many square miles is Paris?(1 point)

Question

mi.2

Answer 1

To find the area of Paris in square miles given the population density and total population, use the formula:

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

Given:

• Population = 58,406,000 people
• Population density = 53,000 people per square mile

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{58,406,000}{53,000} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Area} \approx 1,101.15 \text{ square miles} \]

So, the area of Paris is approximately 1,101.15 square miles.
