Answer 1

To calculate the density of people per block, divide the total population by the number of residential blocks: \( \frac{1620 \text{ people}}{18 \text{ blocks}} = 90 \text{ people/block} \). Thus, the density is 90 people per block, determined by performing a simple division of the total population by the number of blocks.
