Full solution

Q. In 20162016, the city of Rio de Janeiro had a population density of 5377 people km2 5377 \frac{\text { people }}{\mathrm{km}^{2}}.\newlineWhat was the population density of Rio de Janeiro in people per square meter?\newline\square people m2\frac{\text { people }}{\mathrm{m}^{2}}
  1. Convert units: We need to convert the population density from people per square kilometer to people per square meter. \newline11 square kilometer is equal to 1,000,0001,000,000 square meters.
  2. Calculate density: To find the population density in people per square meter, we divide the population density in people per square kilometer by the number of square meters in a square kilometer.\newlinePopulation density (people/m2^2) = Population density (people/km2^2) / 1,000,0001,000,000
  3. Perform division: Now we perform the calculation using the given population density of Rio de Janeiro.\newlinePopulation density (people/m22) = 5377people/km21,000,000\frac{5377 \, \text{people/km}^2}{1,000,000}
  4. Final result: Performing the division gives us the population density in people per square meter.\newlinePopulation density (people/m22) = 0.0053770.005377 people/m22
