Alaska is the largest state in the United States. The state has an area of approximately 663,000 square miles. Rhode Island is the smallest state in the United States, with an area of approximately 1,000 square miles. Currently, the populations of Alaska and Rhode Island are 732,000 people and 1 million people, respectively. If Alaska had the same number of people per square mile as Rhode Island, what would the population be? Can someone please explain!! 😓

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):

O.k, um, basically multiply 663,000 and 732,000. I think. Do you want the awnser?

But if Rhode Island has 1000 Square miles don't you have to divide 732,000 by 1000 to get the answer of how many people are in just 1 square mile ....

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):

I thought it was talking about Alaska?

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):

OpenStudy (shiburinga):

Mhm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is but if you see it said if Alaska had the same number of people per square mile as Rhode Island so doesn't that mean we have to find first how many people are in a square mile in Rhode Island ?

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):

I'm a bit confused to.

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):

Divide 732,000 into 1,000.

OpenStudy (shiburinga):

Wrong xP Divide 1000000 by 1000.

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):

Yes, I thought you had to multiply those.

OpenStudy (shiburinga):

Lol first divide 1million (rhode islands population) by 1thousand (rhode islands square miThen multiply that number by the square miles of Alaska. (663thousnad)

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):
