Answer:

The kind of ice cream the least number of students prefer is Strawberry ice cream.

Explanation:

We convert all given values to decimal

Hiroshi found that:

a) For vanilla ice cream

3/5 of his class prefers vanilla ice cream

3/5 to decimal = 0.6

b) For Chocolate ice cream

26% prefers chocolate ice cream

26% to decimal = 0.26

c) For strawberry ice cream

0.14 prefers strawberry ice cream

0.14 = 0.14

Arranging the numbers in order from least to greatest, we have :

0.14, 0.26 , 0.6

The kind of ice cream the least number of students prefer is Strawberry ice cream.
