Question

Given that New Mexico has a population of about 12 people per square miles and

an area of about 120,000 square miles, what is the population of New Mexico
Mark only one oval.
10,000
1,000,000
1,440,000
2,400,000

Answer 1

1440000

Explanation:

Since for every mile, there are 12 people, we have 120000 miles. If we multiply 12 by 120000, we get 1440000.

Answer 2

Answer:

Population = 1,440,000

Step by step explanation:

The population of New Mexico can be calculated by multiplying the population density (12 people/square mile) by the area of the state (120,000 square miles):

Population = Population density x Area
Population = 12 people/square mile x 120,000 square miles
Population = 1,440,000

Therefore, the population of New Mexico is 1,440,000. The correct oval to mark is "1,440,000".
