Respuesta :

Answer:

250000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The population density of the city is 36 per square mile.

The city is 6,944.44mi².

Population density of a city is given as the population of a city divided by its land area.

PD = P / A

From the question,

PD = 36 people per square mile

A = 6,944.44mi²

Hence, P is:

P = PD * A

P = 36 * 6944.44 = 249999.84 people

Since people size can only be whole number, we approximate P to the nearest whole number

P = 250000 people

There are approximately 250000 people that live in that city.
