Question

calculate the population density of a city that occupies 2,968.7 sq.miles and has 302,143 people. Round to the nearest person per sq.mi.

Answer 1

302,143/2,968.7 = 101.776198336 ≈ 102 people/Sq. Mile

1. Divide the number of people by the area

2. Round to the the nearest person per Sq mile (if the number behind the number you want to round to is bigger or equal than 5 you increase the number you want to round to i. e. 2.5 ≈ 3, 2.3 ≈ 2, 1,23456 ≈ 1,235 if rounding to the third decimal point)
