Sagot :

Answer:

(162 people/mi²)(30,061 mi²) =

4,869,882 people

Answer:

4,869,882

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the population of South Carolina in 2005, we can use the formula for population density:

[tex]\boxed{\textsf{Population Density}=\dfrac{\textsf{Population}}{\textsf{Area}}}[/tex]

In this case:

  • Population Density = 162 people per square mile
  • Area = 30,061 square miles

Substitute the values into the formula and solve for population:

[tex]162=\dfrac{\textsf{Population}}{30061} \\\\\\ \textsf{Population}=162 \times 30061 \\\\\\ \textsf{Population}=4869882[/tex]

Therefore, the population of South Carolina in 2005 was:

[tex]\Large\boxed{\boxed{4,869,882}}[/tex]
