Answer 2

Area of island = 728 square miles

Number of people living on the island = 83,000

Let us say "x" represents the number of people living on the island per square mile.

We are given number of people living in 728 square mile of island =83,000

So we will apply unitary method here to find people living per square mile of island.

x= number of people living in 728 square mile divided by area of island.

x=83000/728 =114

Answer: So number of people living per square mile of island is x=114
