Community B has the most children if both neighborhoods have the same number of households.
To find out how many children live in Community B if there are 1,000 households, we can use the ratio of households to total number of children in Community B.
In Community B, for every 24 households, there are 60 children.
So for 1,000 households, we can set up a proportion:
24/60 = 1000/x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
24x = 60*1000
x = (60*1000)/24
x ≈ 2500
Therefore, there are 2,500 children in Community B if there are 1,000 households.
The correct response is: Community B has the most children. There are 2,500 children in this community if there are 1,000 households.
