Answer:

[tex]People\ per\ square\ mile\approx 27539[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

World's Population[tex]=7.4\ billion=7.4\times 10^9=7400000000[/tex]

Area of state[tex]=268712\ square\ miles[/tex]

[tex]People\ per\ square\ mile=\frac{total\ population\ in\ that\ area}{total\ area\ of\ the\ state}\\\\Here\ world's\ population\ is\ put\ in\ that\ state\\\\ So\ population\ in\ that\ state=7.4\ billion\\\\People\ per\ square\ mile=\frac{7400000000}{268712}\\\\People\ per\ square\ mile=27538.77\approx 27539[/tex]
