Answer 1

Population density is a measure of how many people there are per unit area of land.

So to find population density, just divide the population by the land area.

Answer 2

Indonesia: 106.8

Denmark: 124.7

Ghana: 77.2
So the largest number has the greatest density and the smallest number would be the smallest density?
