Use the tables to answer the question.

To determine which community has the most children based on the average number of children per household, we first need to calculate the average number of children per household for both communities.

For Community A:

• Total number of households = 10, 20, 40, 75
• Total number of children = 26, 52, 104, 195

Calculating the average number of children per household:

1. For 10 households: 26 / 10 = 2.6
2. For 20 households: 52 / 20 = 2.6
3. For 40 households: 104 / 40 = 2.6
4. For 75 households: 195 / 75 = 2.6

Average for Community A = 2.6 children per household

For Community B:

• Total number of households = 12, 24, 50, 85
• Total number of children = 30, 60, 125, 212.5

Calculating the average number of children per household:

1. For 12 households: 30 / 12 = 2.5
2. For 24 households: 60 / 24 = 2.5
3. For 50 households: 125 / 50 = 2.5
4. For 85 households: 212.5 / 85 ≈ 2.5

Average for Community B = 2.5 children per household

Now, if both communities had the same number of households (1,000 households), we can calculate the total number of children for each community:

• Community A: 2.6 children/household * 1,000 households = 2,600 children
• Community B: 2.5 children/household * 1,000 households = 2,500 children

Based on these calculations:

Response: Community A has the most children. There are 2,600 children in this community if there are 1,000 households.
