There are approximately 30,000,000 white-tailed deer in the United States, which covers 3,536,000 square miles. What is the population density, rounded to the nearest whole number, for the white-tailed deer?

a. 2 deer per square mile
b. 4 deer per square mile
c. 6 deer per square mile
d. 8 deer per square mile

Answer 1

You have to divide the number of deer to the square miles.
30000000/3536000 = 8.48 which rounded is 8.

The answer to your question is D. I hope this is the answer that you are looking for and it comes to your help.

Answer 2

Answer;

d. 8 deer per square mile

Explanation;

-Population density is a measurement of population per unit area.

-To calculate the population density, we divide the population by the size of the area. Thus, Population Density = Number of People/Land Area. The unit of land area should be square miles or square kilometers.

-In this case;

Population density = 30,000,000/3,536,000

= 8.48

= 8 (to the nearest whole number)

Thus, the population density will be 8 deer per square mile
