To model a desert community where 19% of the area is desert, we can use a grid representation where each square represents a consistent portion of the total area. Let's break down the scenario.
Total Area Representation
-
Total squares in the community: Let's assume the total area of the community is represented by 100 squares for simplicity. This can be visualized as a 10x10 grid (10 rows and 10 columns).
-
Desert Area: Since 19% of the area is desert, we can calculate the number of squares that represent the desert: \[ \text{Desert squares} = 0.19 \times 100 = 19 \text{ squares} \]
-
Houses Area: The remaining area is made up of houses: \[ \text{House squares} = 100 - 19 = 81 \text{ squares} \]
Visual Representation
For a clear visual representation:
- Let's use 'D' to represent the desert area (19 squares).
- Let's use 'H' to represent the houses area (81 squares).

Summary:
In this community grid:
- There are 19 'D' squares representing desert.
- There are 81 'H' squares representing houses.
This simple model gives a clear picture of the distribution of desert and housing in the community. Depending on your needs, you can adjust the grid size or the representation for different total area scenarios.
