There are 6.54 million people in indiana. the area of indiana is 36,185 square miles. use scientific notation to calculate indiana’s people per square miles.

The easiest way to calculate this is to divide the number of people (6.54 million) by the number of square miles (36,185). 6540000/36185 = 180.74. In scientific notation, which can only include numbers between 1 and 9, we will have to move our decimal point to the left two spaces, meaning that our answer is 1.8 x 10^2.
