Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall population - density formula
Population = Population density×Area
## Step2: Substitute given values
Population density of New - Jersey (used for Texas) = 1195 people per square mile, Area of Texas = 261797 square miles. So, Population = 1195×261797.
1195×261797=(1000 + 100+90 + 5)×261797=1000×261797+100×261797+90×261797+5×261797
1000×261797 = 261797000
100×261797=26179700
90×261797 = 9×2617970=23561730
5×261797=1308985
261797000+26179700+23561730+1308985 = 312847415
