For our next blog entry, we will be comparing the number of people per square kilometer. In computer class, we will be setting up an Excel spreadsheet to find the number of people per square kilometer.
For your blog entry, please:
1) list your countries in order of most people per square kilometer to least people per square kilometer. List the country and the number of people per square kilometer rounded to the nearest whole number.
2) tell which country has the biggest difference in population per total area vs. population per land area. List the country name, the population per total area, the population per land area, and the difference between the two numbers.
Due: December 8, Saturday by 10pm.
