20 POINTS PLS HALP!!!

Greenland is the least densely populated country in the world, with a population of 57,714 and
an area
of 836,109 square miles. To the nearest hundredth, what is the population density of
Greenland in people per square mile?

Answer 1

.07 people per square mile

Explanation:

We can just divide the people by area

57714/836109=.06902688525 or about .07 people per square mile

I think you got confused about the division and what to divide by what

Look over here we divide the PEOPLE by the AREA so we get the amount of PEOPLE per square mile

If we did it the opposite way we get THE AREA that EACH PERSON HAS

Answer 2

number of people / land area = population density

57,714 / 836,109 ≈ 0.07 people/
