Question

The continent of Africa had a population of 1166 million in 2015. The land area is 30.22 million square kilometres. Calculate the population density of Africa. (You should show your calculations in the box below. Give your answer up to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

38.58

Explanation:

Population density=Total population

                                _____________

                                Total land Area

x=1166/30.22

x=38.52

Answer 2

The population density of Africa is 38.58 per square kilometres.

Given - Population and land area

Find - Population density

Solution - The population density will be calculated by performing division between total population and total land area.

Keep the values in formula

Population density = $\frac{1166}{30.22}$

Performing division

Population density = 38.5837 per square kilometres

Rounding upto two decimal places -

Population density= 38.58 per square kilometres.

Hence, the population density is 38.58 per square kilometres.
