Answer 2

Ok I'm gonna try to rearrange the chart, that one doesnt make much sense

Answer 3

Country Population Area
(1997 estimate) (square km)

Indonesia 203,479,000 1,904,569
Denmark 5,248,000 42,077
Ghana 18,339,000 237,533

Answer 4

It's population and then the area in square miles

so Indonesia has a population of 203 million and a land area of 1.9 million square km

Answer 5

ye that does look much better now

Answer 6

so population density is number of people per unit area

so just divide the first number by the second number

that will tell you how many people on average live in 1 square km

that's the population density

and then you can figure out which country has the highest population density and the lowest

Answer 7

Indonesia is 106.8

Answer 8

And denmark is 124.7

Answer 9

And Ghana has the least with 77.2

Answer 10

How do you do the division symbol?

Answer 11

Is it ^?

Answer 12

that would be exponent

division is using this /

Answer 13

But those three numbers look correct! So which one is the largest and which one is the least?

Answer 14

oh, oh i forgot 😅

Answer 15

Indonesia's population density= 203,479,000 / 1,904,569=

106.8

Denmark's population density= 5,248,000 / 42,077=

124.7

Ghana's population density= 18,339,000 / 237,533=

77.2

Answer 16

Is that all?

Answer 17

yup!

Answer 18

Well I added Ghana has the least in a sentance but other than that is there anything else?
