Final answer:

We cannot predict the number of representatives supporting the education bill without specific data on their opinions or voting patterns. Sample surveys suggest a general favorability towards education, but this does not necessarily indicate representative support for a specific bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many representatives might support the education bill, we need additional specific data about the representative's opinions or their voting patterns related to education. Without such data, we cannot accurately predict their support for the bill. However, if we draw parallels from the sample survey results provided, such as the 79% of California adults who believe education is a top issue or the implied statistic showing that 65% would vote for an education amendment, we might infer a general favorability towards education-related legislation.

While there is a suggestion that those in Congress (millionaires who send their children to private schools) may not reflect average Americans and might not view increased funding for public education as a necessity, this doesn't directly translate into their support or opposition to a specific education bill, such as one about school uniforms. Thus, we have to exercise caution before making any assumptions about the support of the education bill without concrete evidence regarding the representatives' stands on the specific issue at hand.
