Question

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

Answer 1

To determine how many children are affected by pica if there are 10 children, you can use the given percentage range of 10% to 30%.

1. **Calculating 10% of 10 children:**
\[
0.10 \times 10 = 1 \text{ child}
\]

2. **Calculating 30% of 10 children:**
\[
0.30 \times 10 = 3 \text{ children}
\]

Based on the percentages, if there are 10 children, pica could affect between 1 and 3 children.
