Final answer:

The number of coffee shops per capita in a city of 782,000 people with 91 coffee shops is approximately 0.000116, when rounded to six decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of coffee shops per capita in a city, you divide the total number of coffee shops by the city's population. In this case, there are 91 coffee shops in a city of 782,000 people.

Number of coffee shops per capita = Total coffee shops ÷ Population

Number of coffee shops per capita = 91 ÷ 782,000

After performing the division, we get approximately 0.00011634349030470914. To round this to six decimal places, we look at the seventh decimal place which is a '4'. Since this is less than 5, we do not round up the sixth decimal place, and the answer remains as is:

Number of coffee shops per capita = 0.000116
