Answer:

There is an average of approximately 1 sheep per square mile.

Explanation:

Given there are 9.54 sheep spread across 18.52 square miles of land.

The average number of sheep per square mile is given as

A = 9.54/18.52

Without using a calculator, this is by inspection, about 9/18 = 0.5.

Using a calculator, we have

A = 9.54/18.52 = 0.51511879

Approximately 1 sheep per square mile.
