What is the equation with which you can calculate population density?

Answer 1

To find the population density of a country, you divide the amount of people in the country by the amount of squared kilometres. For example, Bangladesh has the highest population density; it is 1000 people per squared km!

Answer 2

A typical population density problem asks you to find the number of a certain type of animal livng within a certain large area. Since it is difficult to find and count moving animals, you can estimate the number of animals in the large area by looking at how many are in a small part of the area. There are 4 foxes in 10 square kilometers of a forest. How many foxes would you expect to find in 50 square kilometers? 4foxes/10 square kilometers = x foxes/50 square kilometers 50 is 5 times 10 so to find the number of foxes you find 5 times 4 which is 20. Using algebra: 4/10 = x/50 cross multiply 10 times x is 10x and 4 times 50 is 200. 10x = 200 x = 200/10 x = 20

Answer 3

To find the population density, you take the population and divide by the area. Let us use the United States as a quick example:

Population: about 313,000,000

Area: 9,826,675 km2

Population density then equals about 32/km2.

Answer 4

You calculate population density by dividing the population by square/kilometers or miles and get population per square/Kilometers.

Answer 5

number of people living there by square foot

Answer 6

most of the time,yea but it might depend on the map,or maybe the numbers are oddly placed.

Answer 7

Count the population (a census) and have surveyors establish the total area in which this population lives. Divide the population by the area to find population per unit area (density).

Answer 8

the number of births per year

Answer 9

2010population/Land Area km
