The easiest way to calculate this is to divide the number of people
(6.54 million) by the number of square miles (36,185). 6540000/36185 =
180.74. In scientific notation, which can only include numbers between 1
and 9, we will have to move our decimal point to the left two spaces,
meaning that our answer is 1.8 x 10^2.
Step [tex]1[/tex]
Divide the number of people by the number of square miles
we know that
[tex]6.54[/tex] million people is equal to
[tex]6,540,000[/tex] people
[tex]\frac{6,540,000}{36,185} \frac{people}{mi^{2}} =180.74\frac{people}{mi^{2}}[/tex]
Step [tex]2[/tex]
Convert to scientific notation
[tex]180.74\frac{people}{mi^{2}}=1.8074*10^{2}\frac{people}{mi^{2}}[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
[tex]1.8074*10^{2}\frac{people}{mi^{2}}[/tex]
