Population density is the number of people per unit of area . The population density of a certain regoin is 60 people per square kilometer . If the region covers 23 square kilometers , what is the population of the region

Respuesta :

Answer:

  1380

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the population of a 23 km² region that has a population density of 60 persons per square km.

Population density

The density is given as the ratio of people to area:

  density = population/area

  60 people/km² = population/(23 km²)

Multiplying by the denominator will tell us the population:

  population = (23 km²)(60 people/km²) = 23·60 people = 1380 people

The population of the region is 1380 people.
