Answer 1

750/2000

Explanation:

1250+750=2000 and the focus is cranberry bog so 750/2000 is the answer

Answer 2

`(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

First, you add up the amount of students.

`1250 + 750 = 2000`. Now, you take 750 (crabwrey bog) and divide it by 2000 (the total). Keep simplifying until you can't anymore.

`(750)/(2000) = (75)/(200) = (15)/(40) = (3)/(8)`

So the fraction of students who preferred cranberry bog is

`(3)/(8)`
