Question

A county is in the shape of a rectangle that is 60 miles by 70 miles and has a population of 50,000. What is the average number of people living on each square mile
of the county? Round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

I'm not too sure, but I think it's 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

60miles x 70miles = 4200miles²

50000 people ÷ 4200 = 11.9 people

≈ 12 people

Answer 2

Well im pretty sure you would take 60 mile by 70 mile, so:

60 × 70 = 4,200

Then you would divide that by the amount of people there are in the county,

50,000 ÷ 4,200 = 11.9

Then just round you're answer

= 12

hope this helps
