Question

A city’s bus line is used more as the urban population density increases. The more people in an area, the more likely bus lines will be utilized.

Answer 2

Answer:

City A residents

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the population density of each city. This is calculated by dividing the total population by the total area of the city.

City A has 29455 people and 19.42mi2 of area, so the density is 1516.7 people per mile squared.

City B has 34890 people and 25.4 mi2 of area, so the density is 1373.6 people per mile squared.

If the city with bigger people density is more likely to use bus lines, the city A is the one whose people are more likely to use bus lines, as it has a bigger people density.
