A county in North Carolina spans 532 square miles. The population density of deer in the county is 11 deer per square mile. How many deer live in the county? Round to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Multiply the county’s area by the deer density: 532 square miles × 11 deer per square mile = 5,852 deer. The square-mile units cancel, leaving the number of deer. Therefore, the answer is 5,852 deer.
