Question

The populations and land areas of four cities in Texas are shown. Which statements are true? Check all that apply. The population density for City B can be found using the ratio 48,592 : 26. The population density for City D can be found using the ratio 258 : 196,429. City A has the greatest population density of the four cities. The population density of City B is greater than that of City C. City D has the lowest population density of the four cities.

Answer 1

Im pretty sure its A, D, and E

Answer 2

Population density is calculated by dividing the population by the area.

Population density of city A=2,195,914÷1,553 =1413.98

Population density for city B=48,572÷26=1868.15

Population density for city C=1,257,676÷999=1258.93.

Population density for city D=196,429÷258=761.35.

The true statements are:

The population density for City B can be found using the ratio 48,592 : 26.

The population density of City B is greater than that of City C.

City D has the lowest population density of the four cities.
