Answer 1

The average number of people living on each square mile of the county is 17 .

What is population density?

• It is defined as the ratio of the population to the total area.
• The population density represents the average number of people living on each square unit.

Total area of the rectangular region = 50×60 = 3000 square miles

Total population = 50,000

The population density = 50,000/3000

= 16.667 ≈ 17 people per square unit

Thus, the average number of people living on each square mile of the county is 17.
