Question

I don’t know how to do the first one

Answer 1

Hello!! The answer for #15 is 10.9 people per square mile.

Explanation:

First, set up your equation. Then subtract left-to-right. You'll need to regroup! You can't subtract 5 from 4, so you'll need to take ten from 2. This will make your tenths place .9 and your tens place 0. Then just subtract 4 from 5 to get 1 in your ones place.

Hope this helped!!

Answer 2

10.9 people per square mile

If you look at the chart, there are 41.5 people per square mile in Colorado and 52.4 people per square mile in Iowa. To find the answer, simply subtract:

52.4 - 41.5 = 10.9
