Use the chart below to answer the questions:

Country Population Area
U. S. 272,648,000 9,364,520
Romania 22,609,000 237,391
Ghana 18,339,000 237,533

Which of these countries has the greatest population density? Which has the least? Provide an explanation and proof for your answer to receive full credit.

The US has the least population density, and Romania has the greatest population density.

Step-by-step explanation: Calculating population density is actually fairly simple and easy.

Divide US population by its area (272,648,000/9,364,520) and you'll get 29.115000blahblahblahwe'll just round that down to 29.1.

Do the same for Romania and Ghana. Round if necessary.

22,609,000/237,391 = 95.2, rounded. This is Romania's population density.

18,339,000 / 237,533  = 77.2, rounded. This is Ghana's population density.

As you can see, Romania has the most population density of all the three countries while the United States has the least. Hope this helped! ;)
