A city has a population density of aproximately 36 people per square mile. If the city is 6,944.44mi2, the aproximately how many people live in that city?

250000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The population density of the city is 36 per square mile.

The city is 6,944.44mi².

Population density of a city is given as the population of a city divided by its land area.

PD = P / A

From the question,

PD = 36 people per square mile

A = 6,944.44mi²

Hence, P is:

P = PD * A

P = 36 * 6944.44 = 249999.84 people

Since people size can only be whole number, we approximate P to the nearest whole number

P = 250000 people

There are approximately 250000 people that live in that city.

eveidence i thing that

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
