New York city gas 8.3 million people in it and an area of 1200 KM2. Tokyo has 13.2 million people and an area of 2200 KM2. Which city has greater population density? A. New York city B. Tokyo

Answer: A. New York city

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining population density is expressed as

Population density = number of people occupying an area/the size of the area

1) For New York city,

Population = 8300000

Area = 1200 km²

Population density = 8300000/1200 = 6917 people per square km

2) For Tokyo,

Population = 13200000

Area = 2200 km²

Population density = 13200000/2200

= 6000 people per square km

Therefore, New York city has the greatest population density

The formula for population density is the number of people divided by the land area. So just do that and compare the answers
