Question

Use the chart below to answer the questions:

Country Population (1997 estimate) Area(square km)
Indonesia 203,479,000 1,904,569
Denmark 5,248,000 42,077
Ghana 18,339,000 237,533
Which of these countries has the greatest population density? Which has the least?

Answer 1

I just need my answer checked (: The country with the greatest population density is Denmark, while the country with the least is Ghana. Using the formula for density, d=m/v, inputting the population for mass and area for volume, you can calculate for each country. Indonesia: d=203,479,000/1,904,569, Denmark: 5,248,000/42,077, and Ghana: 18,339,000/42,077. Calculating these numbers you see the density for each country; Indonesia: 106.84, Denmark: 124,72, and Ghana: 77.2. Thus from greatest to least population density goes Denmark, Indonesia, then Ghana.
