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.

Answer 1

To calculate the density of people per block, you divide the total number of people by the number of residential blocks: 1,620 people ÷ 18 blocks = 90 people per block. This means that, on average, there are 90 residents living in each residential block in the neighborhood.
