To calculate the population density, you divide the population by the area.

Given:

  • Population of Europe: 748,814,048 people
  • Area of Europe: 3,930,000 square miles

The formula for population density is:

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

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Population Density} = \frac{748,814,048 \text{ people}}{3,930,000 \text{ square miles}} \approx 190.54 \text{ people per square mile} \]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

190.54 people per square mile.
