Answer 1

The answer would be 1/3 of the population is children. All you need to do to solve this problem is divide the portion of the population (in this case, children) by the total of the population. Therefore, you have 1342/4026 which reduces to 1/3. If you would like to represent this as a percent, it would be approximately 33.33%

Answer 2

33%

Explanation:

We have been given that the town of winters has a total population of 4026. 1342 children live in winters.

To find the percent of children in town of winters, we will find 1342 is what percent of 4026.

`\text{Percent of children in the population}=(1342)/(4026)* 100`

`\text{Percent of children in the population}=0.3333333* 100`

`\text{Percent of children in the population}=33.33333\%`

Round to nearest whole percent:

`\text{Percent of children in the population}\approx 33\%`

Therefore, approximately 33% of the population are children.
