Please answer the questions below thank you. Just give the letter of the correct answer no need to give solutions.
Density
Here is a simple problem. Then we'll do one that requires a little more thought.
The shape of a city is roughly a circle with a radius of 5 miles. If the population density
for the city is 10,000 people per square mile, what is the population of the city?
11111
Now here's a problem that will stretch your
problem solving skills. This time the city is also
in the shape of a circle, but the population
density is higher towards the center of the city
and lower towards the outskirts. The numbers
in the diagram represent miles. The population
density is 10,000 people per square mile in the
inner circle. In the first ring out from the center
the density is 8,000 people per square mile, the
second ring out it's 6,000, in the third ring out
it's 4,000 and in the largest ring it's only 2,000
people per square mile.
Finally, here is a three dimensional problem.
Density is defined as weight per unit of volume.
So which weighs more, a ball of zinc with a radius of 3 cm, or a ball of…
Pls add some explain on who to get the final answers or use some theory to explain the process on how to get the answer.
