To find out how many students said red is their favorite color, multiply the fraction of students who said red is their favorite color by the total number of students in Year 9. The correct answer is 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many students said red is their favorite color, we can multiply the fraction of students who said red is their favorite color by the total number of students in Year 9.

Given that 4/11 of the students said their favorite color is red, we can calculate: (4/11) x 165 = 60.
