Answer 1

Answer

Denmark has the greatest population density

Ghana has the least population density

Step-by-step explanation

To find the population density we have to divide the population of each country by its area, as follows:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Population density of Indonesia }=\frac{203,479,000}{1,904,569}\approx106.8\text{ }\frac{people}{sq\text{ }km} \\ \text{Populat}\imaginaryI\text{on dens}\imaginaryI\text{ty of Denmark}=\frac{5,248,000}{42,077}\approx124.7\text{ }\frac{people}{sq\text{ k}m} \\ \text{Populat}\mathrm{i}\text{on dens}\mathrm{i}\text{ty of Ghana}=\frac{18,339,000}{237,533}\approx77.2\text{ }\frac{people}{sq\text{ k}m} \end{gathered}$
