If the population density for the city is 10,000 people per square mile, what is the population of the city?

10,000 * (square miles in the city)

Step-by-step explanation:

You've been given a population of people for every square mile (10,000) and you're trying to figure out how many people live in the city.

To convert people per a square mile into people, you'll need to know how many square miles you have. I assume you've been given this as the size of the city or how many square miles the city takes up. Just multiply the amount of people per a square mile by the amount of square miles in the city, and it'll give you the population of people in every square mile of the city (the population).

Note:

This is people per a square mile, or in other words, for every square mile of city, 10,000 people live there. If you have 2 square miles of city, then 2 * 10,000 = 20,000 people live there.
