@suppa_lova

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so we know what each country has for a population and the size

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one has a population that is in the smallest amount of space

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Denmark has the smallest space

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so which country has the smallest population

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Denmark as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry we already said that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now that we see that Denmark has the smallest population and space to hold its population we can tell that Denmark is the most cluttered country out of the three we have to look at

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so therefor there are more people that are per square foot then in any of the other two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the chart and tell me if you can see why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

over 5 million people in less than 50 thousand square kilometers

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Ghana?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would say it is Denmark that has the highest population density

OpenStudy (prince1342):

So Denmark has the greatest density?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bcuz it comes out to be more than 1000 people in every square kilometer

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Ok so one way to describe it is, that it is the most dense because it has small space but lots of people?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

somewhat if you need an explanation just say that there is more than 1000 people per every square kilometer

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Wait though, would Ghana be more dense? Since it has 18million people but 230,000 area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has extra people yes but they are more spread out and they have more room to move around instead of stepping on each others toes every second of the day

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and Ghana has another 150 thousand square kilometers as well

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Indonesia would be the least dense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it would be ghana in the middle of density and Denmark as the densest

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Thank you!
