Answer: 42804 people per square mile
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know Population density = [tex]\dfrac{Number\ of\ people}{Area}[/tex]
Given, population of New York City = 8.55 million
Area of New York City = 300 square miles
Then, population density of New York City = [tex]\dfrac{8.55\text{ million}}{300\text{ square miles}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{8550000}{300\text{ square miles}}=28500\text{ people per square mile}[/tex] [1 million = 1,000,000]
Population of Manhattan = 1.64 million = 1640000
Area of Manhattan = 23 square miles
population density of Manhattan = [tex]\dfrac{1640000}{23}\approx71304\text{ people per square mile}[/tex]
Difference = 71304 - 28500 =42804
Hence, population density of Manhattan is 42804 people per square mile greater than that of New York City.
