Population density & demographics

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. A region has a population of 464 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.

    116 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 464 ÷ 4 = 116 people/km².

  2. 2. A region has a population of 1068 people and a land area of 12 km². Calculate its population density.

    89 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1068 ÷ 12 = 89 people/km².

  3. 3. A region has a population of 384 people and a land area of 3 km². Calculate its population density.

    128 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 384 ÷ 3 = 128 people/km².

  4. 4. A region has a population of 2538 people and a land area of 18 km². Calculate its population density.

    141 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2538 ÷ 18 = 141 people/km².

  5. 5. A region has a population of 108 people and a land area of 9 km². Calculate its population density.

    12 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 108 ÷ 9 = 12 people/km².

  6. 6. A region has a population of 2961 people and a land area of 21 km². Calculate its population density.

    141 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2961 ÷ 21 = 141 people/km².

  7. 7. A region has a population of 836 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.

    76 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 836 ÷ 11 = 76 people/km².

  8. 8. A region has a population of 759 people and a land area of 23 km². Calculate its population density.

    33 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 759 ÷ 23 = 33 people/km².

  9. 9. A region has a population of 100 people and a land area of 4 km². Calculate its population density.

    25 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 100 ÷ 4 = 25 people/km².

  10. 10. A region has a population of 2944 people and a land area of 23 km². Calculate its population density.

    128 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 2944 ÷ 23 = 128 people/km².

  11. 11. A region has a population of 1155 people and a land area of 21 km². Calculate its population density.

    55 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1155 ÷ 21 = 55 people/km².

  12. 12. A region has a population of 1056 people and a land area of 11 km². Calculate its population density.

    96 people/km²

    Population density = population ÷ area = 1056 ÷ 11 = 96 people/km².
