To determine which community has the most children per household, we need to calculate the average number of children per household for both communities. Then we can extend this to a total of 1000 households.
Community A:
The average number of children per household is calculated as follows:
- Total number of children: 26 + 52 + 104 + 195 = 377 children
- Total number of households: 10 + 20 + 40 + 75 = 145 households
Now we can calculate the average number of children per household:
- Average per household: 377 children / 145 households ≈ 2.6 children per household
For 1000 households in Community A:
- Total children: 2.6 children/household × 1000 households = 2600 children
Community B:
Similarly, we calculate for Community B:
- Total number of children: 30 + 60 + 125 + 212.5 = 427.5 children
- Total number of households: 12 + 24 + 50 + 85 = 171 households
Now we can calculate the average number of children per household:
- Average per household: 427.5 children / 171 households ≈ 2.5 children per household
For 1000 households in Community B:
- Total children: 2.5 children/household × 1000 households = 2500 children
Summary:
- In Community A, there would be 2600 children for 1000 households.
- In Community B, there would be 2500 children for 1000 households.
Conclusion:
Community A has the most children, with a total of 2600 children if both communities have the same number of households (1000).
