Answer 1

To determine population density and ranking, divide each region's population by its area in square miles and assign rankings from highest to lowest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the population density, divide each region's population by its area in square miles

Rank the population densities from highest to lowest, assigning 1 to the region with the highest density and 6 to the region with the lowest density

Round the population densities to two decimal places as needed
