how do i even approach this ?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

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.

so 18000/2400 @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

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