Answer:

Portugal

Step-by-step explanation:

Brazil

  • Area = 8.51 × 10^6 km²
  • Population = 1.99 × 10^8 people

Density of population:

  • 1.99 × 10^8 / 8.51 × 10^6 =
  • 1.99 × 10^2/8.51 =
  • 199/8.51 =
  • ≈23.38 people/km²

Portugal

  • Area = 9.21 × 10^4 km²
  • Population = 1.08 × 10^7 people

Density of population:

  • 1.08 × 10^7 / 9.21 × 10^4 =
  • 1.08 × 10^3 / 9.21 =
  • 1080 / 9.21 =
  • ≈ 117.26 people/km²

Portugal has a greater number of people per square kilometer
