Question

write a complete sentence that makes an absolute comparison of the density of cattle in the two countries.

Answer 1

In the United States,

The number of cattle = 75.9million

The area = 3.797 million square miles

The formula for the density will be,

`\frac{\text{The number of cattle}}{\text{Area}}`

Hence,

`\frac{75.9\text{million}}{3.797million\text{ square miles}}=19.989465\text{ }per\text{ sq miles }\approx19.989\text{cattle per sq miles}`

In the Republica,

The number of cattle = 41.1 million

The area = 1.013 square miles

Hence, the density will be

`\frac{41.1\text{million}}{1.013\text{million square miles}}=40.572557\text{ per sq miles}\approx40.573\text{cattle per sq miles}`

Therefore, we can conclude from the data that the population density of cattle in the Republica is higher than that of the United States.
