Answer:

929  

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 11 children, 7 will have homes and 4 will not.

The fraction of children without homes is 4/11.

The number of children without homes is

4/11 × 2556 = 929

 

Check:

The number of children with homes is 2556 - 929 = 1627

With/Without = 1627/929 = 7.005/4 ≈ 7/4

OK.
