Based on the information of the table, you have:

1. The ratio is 105/150. By simplifying you get for the ratio 7/10.

2. The students that prefer action movies are 75+90 = 165 and the total numbe of students is 180+240 = 420. Then, the fraction of students who prefer action movies is:

165/420 = 11/28

3. The fraction of seventh graders students that prefer action movies is:

75/180 = 5/12

4. The percent of student that prefer comedy is:

105 + 150 = 255 total student that prefer comedy

420 total number of students

the fraction is:

(x/100)420 = 255

solve for x:

x = 255(100/420)

x = 60.71

the percent of students is 60.71%

5. The percent of eighth graders student who prefer action moveis is:

(x/100)240 = 90

x = 90(100/240)

x = 37.5

the percent of students is 37.5%

6. To determine which from the given grades has the greatest percent of student that prefer action movies, calculate the percent of student in seventh-grade:

(x/100)180 = 75

x = 75(100/180)

x = 41.66

the percent of student is 41.66%

then, seventh grade has the greatest percent of student that prefer action movies.
