The answer is 2 raccoons per square meter.



The math is very clear. It can be solved using proportion.

If 20 raccoons live in 10 square meters, how many of them will live in 1 square meter:

20 raccoons : 10 m² = x raccoons : 1 m²

⇒ \(\frac{20}{10} = \frac{x}{1}\)

⇒ x = \(\frac{20}{10}\)

⇒ x = 2

So, a population density is 2 raccoons per square meter.
