Question

The population in a 50 square mile area is 200 people. What is the population density?

Answer 1

This is a simple calculation.

Typically you convert square miles into square kilometers. But you can apply this formula to both imperial and metric systems.

Formula:

`Population Density = Population/Land Area`

Here is what your equation looks like

`Population density = 200/50^2`

Calculate that and you get 0.08 people per square mile.
