Answer 1

Answer:

249037470.178  peoples per mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Population of Texas = $2.5 × 10^7$ peoples

Land area of Texas = $2.6 × 10^5 m^2$

Converting area into $mi^2$

Area = 0.1003865 $mi^2$

$Average people per square mile = \frac{Total number of peoples}{Total area}$

Average people per square mile  = $\frac{25000000}{0.1003865}$

Average people per square mile = 249037470.178  peoples per mi^2
