Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation: formula 40 X 30 = 1200 then  50,000 divided by 1200.

      Average number of people living on each square mile is 42.

      Option (1) will be the answer.

Population density:

  •  Population density is defined by the number of people living on one square mile of a particular area.

          Population density = [tex]\frac{\text{Total number of people}}{\text{Area of the land}}[/tex]

Given in the question,

  • A county is in a rectangular shape with dimensions 40 miles by 30 miles.
  • Total population of the county = 50000

Area of the county = Length × Width

                                = 40 × 30

                                = 1200 square miles

Total population of the county = 50000

Population density = [tex]\frac{50000}{1200}[/tex]

                               = 41.67

                                ≈ 42

  Therefore, average number of people living on each square mile is 42.

                     Option (1) will be the answer.
