Malik randomly selects 60 students at Williams High School about their favorite flavor of milkshake. Of the students selected, 24 identified chocolate as their favorite milkshake. There are 1,990 students at Williams High School. Based on the data, what is the most realistic estimate for the number of students at Williams High School whose favorite ice-cream is Chocolate? A. 60 Students, B. 796 Students, C. 1,194 Students, or D. 1,400 Students?

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The answer is B as this is a simple ration question.

All you need to do is convert the question into ration fraction form:

24/60 =x/1990

x is the number of people whose favourite ice-cream is chocolate.

Do cross multiply on both sides and you will get 47760=60x.

x= 796.

Thus, you get your answer.
