Question

a fast food chain surveyed a random sample of students to determine what pizza they prefer.cheese pizza was preferred by 40 students.pepperoni pizza was preferred by 28 students.based on the results,how many of 340 student can be expected to prefer cheese pizza

Answer 1

12%, 0.12, 5/17, or as a ratio: 5:17

Explanation:

To find the percentage:

Take the 40 students who prefer cheese and divide it by 340:

0.11764705882 rounded would be 0.12.

Convert 0.12 into 12% of students prefer cheese pizza.

To find the decimal, to the same exact thing I did up there, but, don't turn it into a percent, just leave it as 0.12.

To find the fraction, turn it into:

40/340

Then simplify it:

5/17 prefer cheese pizza.

For ratio, do the same as fraction, but, instead of the slash mark, turn it into a colon like this: 5:17.
