Answer 1

Answer:

The population density of Alaska is 1.148 people per square mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of people = 655000

Land area = 570374 square miles.

We need to find the population density per square miles.

Solution:

Now we know that;

to find population density, we have to divide the population by the size of the area.

framing in equation form we get;

population density = $\frac{Population}{Land\ area} = \frac{655000}{570374} = 1.148 \ people/mile^2$

Hence the population density of Alaska is 1.148 people per square mile.
