Answer:

401 more people per square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many people there are per square mile in both cities by dividing the number of people by the number of square miles:

672,800/142.9

= 4708 people per square mile (Detroit)

195,100/45.3

= 4307 (Grand Rapids)

Find how many more people per square mile live in Detroit by finding the difference between these two numbers:

4708 - 4307

= 401

So, there are 401 more people per square mile living in Detroit versus Grand Rapids.
