Answer:

  • greatest: Denmark
  • least: Ghana

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the countries with the greatest and least population density of those listed in the given table.

Density

Population density is the ratio of people to a unit of area. It is found by dividing the population number by the number of area units occupied. Here, the area units are square kilometers.

Indonesia: 203,479,000/1,904,569 ≈ 107 people/km²

Denmark: 5,248,000/42,077 ≈ 125 people/km²

Ghana: 18,339,000/237,533 ≈ 80 people/km²

Denmark has the greatest population density; Ghana has the least.
