To determine which community has the most children per household, we can calculate the average number of children per household for both communities based on the provided data.
Community A:
- For 10 households: 26 children → Average = 26 / 10 = 2.6
- For 20 households: 52 children → Average = 52 / 20 = 2.6
- For 40 households: 104 children → Average = 104 / 40 = 2.6
- For 75 households: 195 children → Average = 195 / 75 = 2.6
The average number of children per household in Community A is 2.6.
Community B:
- For 12 households: 30 children → Average = 30 / 12 = 2.5
- For 24 households: 60 children → Average = 60 / 24 = 2.5
- For 50 households: 125 children → Average = 125 / 50 = 2.5
- For 85 households: 212.5 children → Average = 212.5 / 85 = 2.5
The average number of children per household in Community B is 2.5.
Now, to find out how many children there would be if there were 1,000 households in each community:
-
For Community A: Average = 2.6 children per household Total children = 1,000 households * 2.6 children/household = 2,600 children.
-
For Community B: Average = 2.5 children per household Total children = 1,000 households * 2.5 children/household = 2,500 children.
Conclusion: Community A has the most children. There are 2,600 children in this community if there are 1,000 households.
The correct response is: "Community A has the most children. There are 2,600 children in this community if there are 1,000 households."
