Question

Maths question I'm struggling with.

The UK has an area of 243,610km2 and a population of 6.41 x 107. Calculate the population density the United Kingdom. Answer to the nearest whole person and give your answer in standard form, such as a x 10b where you are required to enter the values of A and B

A =

B =

Answer 1

A = 2.63

B = 2

Explanation:

To find the population density, what we need to do simply is divide the population by the area of the UK

mathematically, that would be;

(6.41 * 10^7)/243,610 = 263.125

To the nearest whole person= 263 people/ square meter

So now we want to write 263 in standard form = 2.63 * 10^2

So this means A = 2.63 and B = 2
