Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A region has a population of 308 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.
28 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 308 ÷ 11 = 28 people/km².
2. A region has a population of 2397 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.
141 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2397 ÷ 17 = 141 people/km².
3. A region has a population of 476 people and a land area of 14 km². Calculate its population density.
34 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 476 ÷ 14 = 34 people/km².
4. A region has a population of 532 people and a land area of 19 km². Calculate its population density.
28 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 532 ÷ 19 = 28 people/km².
5. A region has a population of 740 people and a land area of 10 km². Calculate its population density.
74 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 740 ÷ 10 = 74 people/km².
6. A region has a population of 1183 people and a land area of 13 km². Calculate its population density.
91 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1183 ÷ 13 = 91 people/km².
7. A region has a population of 117 people and a land area of 9 km². Calculate its population density.
13 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 117 ÷ 9 = 13 people/km².
8. A region has a population of 483 people and a land area of 7 km². Calculate its population density.
69 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 483 ÷ 7 = 69 people/km².
9. A region has a population of 1490 people and a land area of 10 km². Calculate its population density.
149 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1490 ÷ 10 = 149 people/km².
10. A region has a population of 1140 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.
95 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1140 ÷ 12 = 95 people/km².
11. A region has a population of 1904 people and a land area of 17 km². Calculate its population density.
112 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 1904 ÷ 17 = 112 people/km².
12. A region has a population of 2553 people and a land area of 23 km². Calculate its population density.
111 people/km²
Population density = population ÷ area = 2553 ÷ 23 = 111 people/km².
