how do i even approach this ?

mathstudent55 · Answer

Population density is given in number of people or animals per square unit of area.
You know the number of the population, 18,000. With the given dimensions, you can calculate the area. Then divide.

anonymous · Answer

so 18000/2400 @mathstudent55

mathstudent55 · Answer

So far so good, now do the actual division of 18,000 by 2,400 to get the number of elephants per square km.
