The best estimated for the area is 9000 sq. miles.
Given,
The population density of a certain area is 140 people per square mile.
About 1,260,000 people live in this area.
The best estimate for the area is given by,
we use a formula,
Number of people / Population density = People per square mile
1,260,000 / Sq. miles = 140
Sq. miles = 1,260,000 / 140 = 9000
Therefore, the best estimated for the area is 9000 sq. miles.
