What is the population density of a country with a total population of 140,000,000 and a total land area of 500,000 km2?

A.

280 persons per km2

B.

200 persons per km2

C.

350 persons per km2

D.

500 persons per km2

Correct answer is A

The population density of a country is calculated by dividing the total population by the total land area. Therefore, for a country with a total population of 140,000,000 and a total land area of 500,000 km2, the population density would be 140,000,000 / 500,000 = 280 persons per km2.
