Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of children who chose basketball in each class

Mr. Moore's class: \(6\) children. Mr. Rivera's class: \(8\) children.

Step2: Calculate the difference

\(8 - 6=2\)

Step3: Count the number of children who chose baseball in each class

Mr. Moore's class: \(9\) children. Mr. Rivera's class: \(4\) children.

Step4: Calculate the difference

\(9 - 4 = 5\)

Step5: Count the number of children who chose football and soccer in Mr. Moore's class

Football: \(3\) children. Soccer: \(6\) children.

Step6: Calculate the difference

\(6 - 3=3\)

Step7: Count the number of children who chose soccer in each class

Mr. Moore's class: \(6\) children. Mr. Rivera's class: \(9\) children.

Step8: Calculate the sum

\(6 + 9=15\)

Step9: Count the number of children who chose soccer and football in Mr. Rivera's class

Soccer: \(9\) children. Football: \(7\) children.

Step10: Calculate the sum

\(9+7 = 16\)

Step11: Count the number of children who chose football in each class

Mr. Moore's class: \(3\) children. Mr. Rivera's class: \(7\) children.

Step12: Calculate the sum

\(3 + 7=10\)

Step13: Count the number of children who chose baseball and basketball in Mr. Rivera's class

Baseball: \(4\) children. Basketball: \(8\) children.

Step14: Calculate the difference

\(8 - 4=4\)

Step15: Compare the number of children for each sport in both classes

Baseball: \(9 + 4=13\). Soccer: \(6+9 = 15\). Basketball: \(6 + 8=14\). Football: \(3+7 = 10\).

Answer:

1. \(2\) more children
2. \(5\) fewer children
3. \(3\) children
4. \(15\) children
5. \(16\) children
6. \(10\) children
7. \(4\) children
8. Soccer
