    It is given that seismic activity d ensity of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area affected. so if the there 424 earthquakes and the land area is 71,300 sq miles.

    seismic activity density = 424 / 71,300

    seismic activity density = 0.0059

    the closest answer in the choices is 0.0056
