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. (In your explanation, show the math you used to calculate your density).

Answer 1

To find the density of people per block in the neighborhood, you divide the total number of people by the number of blocks. This can be calculated as follows:

Density = Total number of people / Number of blocks = 1,620 people / 18 blocks = 90 people per block.

Thus, the density of people in the neighborhood is 90 people per block.
