Answer:

D. 2134 people/square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

the population density   can be defined as the number of people in an area unit, in this case our area unit is the square mile.it can be calculated  as

[tex]the\ population\ density =\frac{number\ of\ people}{area} \\[/tex]

Step 1

Let

people =  10137915

Area = 4751 square mile

Step 2

replace

[tex]population\ density=\frac{number\ of\ people}{area}\\ population\ density =\frac{10137915\ people}{4751\ square\ mile} \\ population\ density=2134 \frac{people}{square\ mile} (D)[/tex]

Have a nice day.
