Answer 1

Answer:

401 people per square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the number of people per square mile in Detroit by dividing people by square miles:

672,800/142.9 = 4708.18754374

Then do the same for Grand Rapids:

195,100/45.3 = 4306.84326711

Subtract:

4708.2-4306.8 = 401.4

Round to the ones place:

401
