What is the population density of a country with a total population of 140,000,000 and a total land area of 500,000 km\(^2\)?

200 persons per km\(^2\)

350 persons per km\(^2\)

280 persons per km\(^2\)

500 persons per km\(^2\)

To calculate population density, divide the total population by the total land area. So \(\frac{140,000,000}{500000}\) = 280 persons per km\(^2\).
