compare latin america's landmass and population to those of the united states. Based on that data, how might the overall population densities of the two compare?
landmass:
latin america: 7,941,950 sq. mi
usa: 3,165,630 sq. mi
Population:
Latin america: 517,385,900
usa:281,422,000
Latin America has a higher population overall, and per a sq. mile. They have a larger landmass and more than double the population of the U.S.
What numbers do you have for the landmasses and populations?

Its from my textbook so i have to go by this data.
517,385,900 / 7,941,950 = 65.15 people per square mile in Latin America
281,422,000 / 3,165,630 = 88.9 people per square mile in the U.S.
