Solution

To find the population density, we need to divide the population by the area for each country.

For the U.S., the population density is 272,648,000 / 9,364,520 = approximately 29.1 people per square km.

For Denmark, the population density is 5,248,000 / 42,077 = approximately 124.7 people per square km.

For Ghana, the population density is 18,339,000 / 237,533 = approximately 77.2 people per square km.

Therefore, Denmark has the greatest population density and the U.S. has the least.
