Green beans were chosen by 0.35 of the students, broccoli was chosen by 0.2 of the students, peas were chosen by 1/4 of the students, and corn was chosen by 20% of the students. Which vegetable was chosen by the greatest number of students? In your response, enter 1 for green beans, 2 for broccoli, 3 for peas, or 4 for corn. (1 point)

Answer 1

Determine which vegetable was chosen by the greatest number of students, we need to compare the fractions and percentages given for each vegetable. Green beans (0.35) were chosen by the greatest number of students.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which vegetable was chosen by the greatest number of students, we need to compare the fractions and percentages given for each vegetable.


Let's convert the fractions and percentages to a common unit and compare them:

1. The fraction for green beans is 0.35.
   
   
2. The fraction for broccoli is 0.2.
   
   
3. The fraction for peas is 1/4, which can be written as 0.25.
   
   
4. The percentage for corn is 20%, which can be written as 0.2.
   

Comparing the fractions and percentages, we can see that green beans (0.35) were chosen by the greatest number of students. Therefore, the answer is 1 for green beans.
