4.9375 this is the answer

Answer:

The population density of New mexico is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the population density of new Mexico,

∵ The population density of Texas = 16 times of the population density of new mexico

= 16 times of x + 1

= 16x + 1

According to the question,

16x + 1 = 80

16x = 80 - 1

16x = 79

⇒ x = [tex]\frac{79}{16}[/tex] = 4.9375 ≈ 5

Hence, the population density of New mexico is 5.
