Answer:

Approximately [tex]\boxed{\bold{331 }}[/tex]  people per square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density  is a measurement of population per unit land area

In algebraic terms

[tex]\text{Population Density }= \dfrac{\text{Total Population}}{\text{Total Land Area}}[/tex]

Plugging in the given values for Florida's population of 21, 780, 000 and land area of square miles,

[tex]\text{Population Density of Florida}\\\\=\dfrac{ \text{Population of Florida}}{\text{Area of Florida}}\\\\= \dfrac{ 21, 780, 000}{65,758 }\\\\= 331.21[/tex]

Since we cannot have a fraction of a person we round it down to 331 people per square foot

Answer: Approximately 331 people per square foot
