Here are the solutions to your questions:

Problem Statement Analysis:

  • Total population = 1700
  • People above 60 years = 750
  • Adults between 18 and 60 years = 120
  • The rest are children (under 18 years).

Part a· 2 steps

The number of children in the community.

  1. Identify the total number of adults (those 18 years and above).

    The adults consist of those above 60 years and those between 18 and 60 years.

    Total adults=People above 60 years+Adults between 18 and 60 years\text{Total adults} = \text{People above } 60 \text{ years} + \text{Adults between } 18 \text{ and } 60 \text{ years} Total adults=750+120\text{Total adults} = 750 + 120 Total adults=870\text{Total adults} = 870
  2. Calculate the number of children.

    The number of children is the total population minus the total number of adults.

    Number of children=Total population−Total adults\text{Number of children} = \text{Total population} - \text{Total adults} Number of children=1700−870\text{Number of children} = 1700 - 870 Number of children=830\text{Number of children} = \boxed{830}

Part b750

The number of those who are above 60 years.

  1. Directly state the given information.

    The problem states that 750 people are above 60 years.

    Number of people above 60 years=750\text{Number of people above } 60 \text{ years} = \boxed{750}

    Fraction of children in the community:

  2. Use the calculated number of children and the total population.

    Fraction of children=Number of childrenTotal population\text{Fraction of children} = \frac{\text{Number of children}}{\text{Total population}} Fraction of children=8301700\text{Fraction of children} = \frac{830}{1700}
  3. Simplify the fraction.

    Fraction of children=83170\text{Fraction of children} = \frac{83}{170} Fraction of children=83170\text{Fraction of children} = \boxed{\frac{83}{170}}
