Answer: The answer is 2.

Step-by-step explanation: 7 students wanted to visit Italy, making 28% of students that voted for Italy.

28 ÷ 7 = 4

France: 16 ÷ 4 = 4 students that voted for France

Ireland: 8 ÷ 4 = 2 students that voted for Ireland

Other: 48 ÷ 4 = 12 students that voted for other countries

I hope I helped! Sorry if you can't understand it. I'm not good at explaining things!

Answer:

8

Explanation:

According to the survey results, 8% of the students surveyed said they would most like to visit Ireland.

We don't know the total number of students surveyed, but we can use the percentage to estimate the number of students. Since 8% is less than 10%, we know that the number of students who want to visit Ireland is less than 10% of the total number of students surveyed.

We can use proportions to set up an equation:

8/100 = x/total

where x is the number of students who want to visit Ireland, and the total is the total number of students surveyed.

Simplifying, we get:

0.08 = x/total

To solve for x, we need to know the value of the total. We don't have that information, so we can't find an exact answer. However, we do know that the number of students who want to visit Ireland is less than 10% of the total. If we assume that the total number of students surveyed is 100, then the number of students who want to visit Ireland would be:

x = 0.08 * 100 = 8

So if 100 students were surveyed, 8 of them would most like to visit Ireland. However, if the actual number of students surveyed is different, the number of students who want to visit Ireland will be different too.
