Answer:

Explanation:

Before we answer the problem, let's talk about what we know.

There are 4200 Adults, and 3/8 don't have children.

8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8 (Adults that do have children).

Note: 8/8 is the total of adults in lakeview.

Finally, you would take the number of adults at lakeview, and multiply it by the fraction of adults that do have children.

4200 x (5/8) = 2625
