Answer 1

Answer: New York City has a greater population density.

Explanation:

The formula for determining population density is expressed as

Population density = number of people occupying an area/the size of the area

1) For New York City,

Population = 8,300000

Area = 1200km squared

Population density = 8300000/1200

= 6917 people per square km

2) For Denmark,

Population = 13,200000

Area = 2200 km

Population density = 13200000/2200

= 6000 people per square km

Therefore, New York City has a greater population density.
