Question

Population density is described as the average number of people per square kilometre. The population density of Canada is approximately 3.5 persons/km2. Use the data in the table. Name a province or territory that has:

a) A population density closest to that of Canada

The chart:

Province: Ontario
Population: 12 393 ooo
Area (km2): 917 700

Province: Saskatchewan
Population: 995 000
Area (km2): 591 700

Province: British Colombia
Population: 4 196 000
Area (km2) : 925 200

Province: Nunavut
Population: 29 600
Area(km2): 1 939 000

Answer 1

Look at the area of each, and mentally multiply each area by 3.

Ontario is way large
Sas is small
BC is about 4
Nun is way small.

Answer 2

thank u!:)

Answer 3

so what does that give me for the population density closest to that of canada

Answer 4

damn it

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find a province or territory in Canada with a population density closest to that of Canada (3.5 persons/km2), we need to calculate the population density for each province or territory using the given information from the table.

To determine the population density, we can use the formula:

Population Density = Population / Area

Let's calculate the population density for each province or territory:

1. Ontario:
Population Density = 12,393,000 / 917,700 ≈ 13.5 persons/km2

2. Saskatchewan:
Population Density = 995,000 / 591,700 ≈ 1.68 persons/km2

3. British Columbia:
Population Density = 4,196,000 / 925,200 ≈ 4.54 persons/km2

4. Nunavut:
Population Density = 29,600 / 1,939,000 ≈ 0.015 persons/km2

Comparing the calculated population densities with Canada's population density (3.5 persons/km2), we can see that British Columbia has a population density (4.54 persons/km2) closest to that of Canada.
