Answer:

249037470.178  peoples per mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Population of Texas = [tex]2.5 × 10^7[/tex] peoples

Land area of Texas = [tex]2.6 × 10^5 m^2[/tex]

Converting area into [tex]mi^2[/tex]

Area = 0.1003865 [tex]mi^2[/tex]

[tex]Average people per square mile = \frac{Total  number  of  peoples}{Total area}[/tex]

Average people per square mile  = [tex]\frac{25000000}{0.1003865}[/tex]

Average people per square mile = 249037470.178  peoples per mi^2
