Exercise 3 Page 457

D

Practice makes perfect

To evaluate the average population density of United States, we will divide the population of United States by the land area of the country. To do so we will use the Quotient of Powers Property.

3.034* 10^8/3.54* 10^6
(3.034/3.54) ( 10^8/10^6 )
0.8570621469 ( 10^8/10^6 )
0.8570621469 * 10^2
0.8570621469 * 100
85.70621469
85.7

Therefore, the correct choice is D.
