Solution:

we are given that

The state of New Jersey has a population of about 8.9 million and its area is about 8700 mi².

we have been asked to find the population density of New Jersey?

As we know the population density is defined as the population per square unit of area.

Population=8.9 million=8900000

Area=8700 mi².

Hence population density can be given as


Population \ density=(8900000)/(87000) \approx 1023

The population density of New Jersey 1023.
