Answer:

20,309 people more people per sq mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to calculate the population density of both cities, then we'll be able to answer the question.

We're looking for a number of people per sq mile... so we'll divide the population by the area.

New York City: 8.54 million people on 302.6 sq miles

DensityNYC = 8,540,000 / 302.6 = 28,222 persons/sq mile

Los Angeles: 3.98 million people on 503 sq miles

DensityLA = 3,980,000 / 503 = 7,913 persons/sq mile

Then we do the difference... 28,222 - 7,913 = 20,309 people more people per sq mile.

If we were to make the ratio, we'd get 3.57, 3.57 more people in NYC per sq mile compare to LA.
