Question

If pica affects 10 to 30 percent of children, how many children does it effect? (like every 4 out of 10, or every 8 out of 15 just an example)

Answer 1

Pica affects 10 to 30 percent of children. To illustrate this with some examples using different total numbers of children, we can calculate the number of affected children from a hypothetical group size.

1. **If there are 100 children:**
- At 10%: 10 children are affected.
- At 30%: 30 children are affected.

2. **If there are 200 children:**
- At 10%: 20 children are affected.
- At 30%: 60 children are affected.

3. **If there are 50 children:**
- At 10%: 5 children are affected.
- At 30%: 15 children are affected.

4. **If there are 30 children:**
- At 10%: 3 children are affected.
- At 30%: 9 children are affected.

So, you can see that depending on the total number of children, pica would affect anywhere from 10% to 30% of that population.
