From the question;

About 4 of every 50 college freshmen chooses to major in business

we need to find how many business majors would be ina group of 1650 college freshmen

Since 4 out of every 50 college freshman major in business

then


\begin{gathered} \text{number of business major in 1650 freshmen} \\ =\text{ }(4)/(50)\text{ }*\text{ 1650} \\ =\text{ }(6600)/(50) \\ =\text{ 132} \end{gathered}

Therefore,

132 college freshmen will major in business out of 1650 college freshmen
