Question

There are 1,620 people who live in a neighborhood. If the neighborhood contains 18 residential blocks, calculate the density of people per block in the neighborhood. In 1–2 sentences, explain how you determined the density.(2 points).

Answer 1

To find the density of people per block, divide the total population by the number of residential blocks: \( \frac{1,620}{18} = 90 \). This means there are 90 people living in each block, which I calculated by performing simple division of the total population by the total number of blocks.
