Answer

$362$ people per square mile

Work Step by Step

Dividing the population by the land area, then the population density is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{1.34\times10^9}{3.705\times10^6} \\= \dfrac{1.34}{3.705}\times\dfrac{10^9}{10^6} \\= 0.36167341430499325236167341430499\times10^{9-6} \\= 0.36167341430499325236167341430499\times10^{3} \\= 361.67341430499325236167341430499 .\end{array} Hence, the population density, rounded to the nearest whole, number is $\text{ $362$ people per square mile }.$
