To determine which community has the most children based on the average number of children per household, we can calculate the average number of children per household for both communities.
For Community A:
- 10 households: 26 children → Average = 26 / 10 = 2.6 children/household
- 20 households: 52 children → Average = 52 / 20 = 2.6 children/household
- 40 households: 104 children → Average = 104 / 40 = 2.6 children/household
- 75 households: 195 children → Average = 195 / 75 = 2.6 children/household
The average number of children per household in Community A is 2.6 children/household.
For Community B:
- 12 households: 30 children → Average = 30 / 12 = 2.5 children/household
- 24 households: 60 children → Average = 60 / 24 = 2.5 children/household
- 50 households: 125 children → Average = 125 / 50 = 2.5 children/household
- 85 households: 212.5 children → Average = 212.5 / 85 = 2.5 children/household
The average number of children per household in Community B is 2.5 children/household.
Now we compare the averages:
- Community A: 2.6 children/household
- Community B: 2.5 children/household
Community A has the most children per household.
Now, if both communities have 1,000 households:
For Community A:
- Total children = 1,000 households × 2.6 children/household = 2,600 children.
For Community B:
- Total children = 1,000 households × 2.5 children/household = 2,500 children.
Based on these calculations, the correct response is:
Community A has the most children. There are 2,600 children in this community if there are 1,000 households.
