Answer:

3.29ft/mi

Explanation:

The gradient of a river is the slope through which a river flows. It measures the vertical drop in elevation of river to the horizontal distance.

 Mathematically;

  River gradient = \frac{Elevation}{horizontal distance}  

 Elevation  = 1229ft

Horizontal distance  = 373miles

  River gradient  = \frac{1229}{373}   = 3.29ft/mi

weeeeeb [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>C) Population Density Equation </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Population density is the total population that has been divided by the total area of the land. "Demography" is the "statistical study" of populations. It includes the study of size, structure, and distribution of the population. There are both direct and indirect methods for the data collection. Direct data is vital that tracks all the births and deaths and also include the changes in the legal status such as marriage, divorce, and migration. On the other hand the "indirect method" is vastly dependent on the historical demography.
