Answer:

The population density is "250 per square mile".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Number of people,

= 2,500

Land area,

= 10 square miles

Now,

The population density will be:

=
(Number \ of \ people)/(Land \ area)

On substituting the given values, we get

=
(2,500)/(10)

=
250/ square mile
