Question

The population density for Cuba is about 39.72. If the area of the country is 1,138,910 sq km, what is the approximate population?

Answer 1

51,216,979.

Explanation:

To calculate the approximate population of Cuba, we can use the formula for population density, which is defined as population divided by area:

Population Density = Population / Area

Rearranging the formula to solve for Population, we get:

Population = Population Density * Area

Plugging in the given values for population density and area, we have:

Population = 39.72 * 1,138,910

Now we can calculate the approximate population of Cuba:

Population = 45.01 * 1,138,910 = 51,216,979.1
