The table shows the approximate population and areas of five states. population density is the number of people per square unit of the area. find the population density of each state. round to the nearest tenth.
california. pop estimate 36,500,000
area 163,707
florida. 18,300,000 area 65,758
iowa. 2,990,000 area 56,276
new jersey. 8,690,000 area 8,772
wyoming. 522,000 area 97,818

     State                  density (people/ unit area)

Explanation:

Population density measures how concentrated are the people of a region.

It is calculated dividing the number of people by the square unit of area:

This table shows the detailed calculation for every state of the question:

State    Pop. estimate    Area       density (people / unit area)

Cal.      36,500,000     163,707   36,500,000 / 163,707 ≈ 222.96 ≈ 223.0

Florida  18,300,000     65,758    18,300,000 / 65,758 ≈ 278.29 ≈ 278.3

Iowa        2,990,000    56,276   2,990,000 / 56,276   ≈ 53.13 ≈ 53.1

New J.     8,690,000      8,772   8,690,000 / 8,772       ≈ 990.65 ≈ 990.7

Wyoming    522,000      97,818    522,000 / 97,818    ≈ 5.34 ≈ 5.3

each side has a different length.
