Question

In a survey, three out of four people preferred vanilla ice cream over chocolate. There are 120 people shopping at a grocery store. Use the survey to predict how many people in the grocery store would prefer vanilla ice cream?

Answer 1

Answer: 90 people

Explanation:

3/4 people preferred vanilla over chocolate.

This means that out of the 120 people coming to shop in the store, an estimated 3/4 prefer vanilla to chocolate.

Your answer should be the figure that represents 3/4 out of 120.

= 3/4 * 120

= 360 / 4

= 90 people
