Answer: twice as many people prefer summer over spring

Explanation:

Try out each of the statements.

For the first one, the number of people who picked fall is 8.

3 x 8 = 24, which isn’t the same as 26, the number of people who chose summer.

For the second one, 8 + 3 = 11, which isn’t 13,the number that picked spring.

For the third, 13 + 8 + 3 = 24, which isn’t 26, the number that picked summer.

However, for the forth, 13 x 2 = 26, which is the number that picked summer.
