Community B has the most children if both neighborhoods have the same number of households.
To find the number of children in Community B if there are 1,000 households, we can use the ratios from the table.
In Community B, the ratio of households to children is 24:60 or 1:2.5.
So, for every 1 household, there are 2.5 children.
If there are 1,000 households, we can multiply this ratio by 1,000 to find the number of children:
2.5 x 1,000 = 2,500 children.
Therefore, if there are 1,000 households in Community B, there would be 2,500 children.
Use the tables to answer the question.
Community A
Number of Households Total Number of Children
10 26
20 52
40 104
75 195
Community B
Number of Households Total Number of Children
12 30
24 60
50 125
85 212.5
Based on the tables showing the average number of children per household for two different communities, which community has the most children if both neighborhoods have the same number of households? How many children live in this community if 1,000 households?
