Answer:

Country with the greatest population density = Denmark

Country with the least population density = Ghana

Step-by-step explanation:

Population Density

[tex]\textsf{Population Density}=\dfrac{\textsf{Number of People}}{\textsf{Area of land in square km}}[/tex]

To find the countries with the greatest and least population density, calculation each countries population density using the given values:

Indonesia

[tex]\sf \textsf{Population Density}=\dfrac{203479000}{1904569}=106.8 \:\: \textsf{people per }km^2[/tex]

Denmark

[tex]\sf \textsf{Population Density}=\dfrac{5248000}{42077}=124.7 \:\: \textsf{people per }km^2[/tex]

Ghana

[tex]\sf \textsf{Population Density}=\dfrac{18339000}{237533}{1904569}=77.2 \:\: \textsf{people per }km^2[/tex]

Therefore,

  • Country with the greatest population density = Denmark
  • Country with the least population density = Ghana

Population density

  • No of people/Area

Indonesia

  • 203479000/1904569
  • 106.8 people/km²

Denmark

  • 5248000/42077
  • 124.7people/km²

Ghana

  • 18339000/237533
  • 77.2people/km²

Denmark has greatest and Ghana has least
