To calculate the population density, you use the formula:

\[ \text{Population Density} = \frac{\text{Number of Individuals}}{\text{Area}} \]

In this case, you have:

  • Number of Individuals = 16 giraffes
  • Area = 1 square kilometer

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Population Density} = \frac{16 \text{ giraffes}}{1 \text{ km}^2} = 16 \text{ giraffes/km}^2 \]

So, the population density is 16 giraffes per square kilometer.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa wrong one this is old

I apologize for any confusion. Let me clarify the information:

  1. Size of the giraffe population: 16 individuals (or sixteen).
  2. Population density: Since there are 16 giraffes in 1 square kilometer, the population density is 16 giraffes per square kilometer.
