Solution

Population density is calculated by dividing the number of individuals by the area they occupy.

  1. For 100 wolves in 100 square miles, the population density would be 100/100 = 1 wolf per square mile.
  2. For 10 wolves in 10 square miles, the population density would be 10/10 = 1 wolf per square mile.
  3. For 10 wolves in 100 square miles, the population density would be 10/100 = 0.1 wolves per square mile.
  4. For 100 wolves in 10 square miles, the population density would be 100/10 = 10 wolves per square mile.

Therefore, the population with the highest density would be 100 wolves in 10 square miles.
