To compare the population densities of Europe and the United States, we need to calculate the population density for each region using the formula:
\[
\text{Population Density} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}
\]
### Calculating Population Density for Europe:
- **Population of Europe**: 743.5 million (or 743,500,000 people)
- **Area of Europe**: 3.9 million square miles (or 3,900,000 square miles)
\[
\text{Population Density (Europe)} = \frac{743,500,000}{3,900,000} \approx 190.6 \text{ people per square mile}
\]
### Calculating Population Density for the United States:
- **Population of the United States**: 332.4 million (or 332,400,000 people)
- **Area of the United States**: 3.5 million square miles (or 3,500,000 square miles)
\[
\text{Population Density (United States)} = \frac{332,400,000}{3,500,000} \approx 95.0 \text{ people per square mile}
\]
### Comparing Densities:
- Europe: ~190.6 people per square mile
- United States: ~95.0 people per square mile
From these calculations, we can conclude that Europe is indeed more densely populated than the United States.
### Correct Response:
**Europe is more densely populated, with a density of 190.6 people per square mile.**
\[
\text{Population Density} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}
