Given that a town has an area of 10.4 mi squared whose population is 3619.

Now we have to find the population density of that town.

"population density " basically means how many people live in given amount of area. So we just need to divide given population 3619 by given area 10.4 square miles.


Hence population density is given by:

Population density = 3619/10.4 = 347.980769231


So the answer is approx 348 people per square miles.
