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]
