Answer:

[tex]\approx17628\ people/mi^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density is mathematically defined as the number of people living per unit area.

-Given the population is 8250000 and the area is 468 sq miles, the density is calculated as:

[tex]Pop \ Density=\frac{Population}{Area}\\\\\\=\frac{8250000}{468}\\\\\approx17628\ people/mi^2[/tex]

Hence, there is approximately 17,628 people per sq mile.
