As people move in and out of cities local officials monitor the impact on resources in their 56 -square kilometer city limits. This year, the city's population grew to 78 ,968 people. Calculate the population density of the city. 1,410.14 square kilometers per person 1,410.14 people per square kilometer 25.18 square kilometers per person 25.18 people per square kilometer

## Step 1<br />The problem provides us with the total population of the city, which is 78,968 people, and the total area of the city, which is 56 square kilometers. We are asked to calculate the population density of the city.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Population density is defined as the number of people per unit area. In this case, we are given the total population and the total area, so we can calculate the population density by dividing the total population by the total area.<br /><br />### **Population Density = \(\frac{Total Population}{Total Area}\)**<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Substitute the given values into the formula:<br /><br />### **Population Density = \(\frac{78968}{56}\)**<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Perform the division to find the population density.
