Given that the population density of Georgia is 170 people per square mile and 10,100,000 people live in Georgia, what is the area of the state? (to the nearest hundred mi2)

A) 50,000 mi2

B) 50,500 mi2

C) 58,800 mi2

D) 59,400 mi2

Respuesta :

Answer:

59400 mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the density, we take the population and divide by the area

population/ area= population density

10100000/area = 170

10100000/170 = area

59411.76471 = area

To the nearest hundred miles

59400 mi^2

Answer:

Correct choice is D: 59,400 mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to solve is Density= Population/area

Density is 10,100,000 and area = 170

Therefore we divide  10,100,000  by 170, 10,100,000/170

From that we get

Area= 59411.7647059

It says round to nearest 100 mi, and the number in the hundred place is 1. Since 1 is close to 0 we round 1 to 0, and same with all the following numbers. Hence, it becomes 59,400.0000000, which can simply be written as 59,400 mi^2.
