Question

The population of Phoenix is about 1.728 x 106. The area of the city has an area of about 1.35 x 103 km2. Find the number of people residing in Phoenix per square mile. (Population Density = Population / Area) Write your answer in standard form. Example: The standard form of 2.37 x 104 is 23,700.

Answer 1

Well, like it's said you need to divide the population (\(1.728 * 10^6\)) by the area of the city (\(1.35*10^3\)). Where's the confusion ?
