My sister needs help before the end of the day please help me.

The options for the 2nd question are 3, 50, 100, 150, and 200.

Answer 1

`50`

Explanation:

The prorportion of students that take a foreign language is
`(5)/(6)`

The total number of students is 150

Number of students who take a foreign language

`(5)/(6)* 150=125`

Out of these students
`(2)/(5)` portion of students take French.

Number of students that take French

`(2)/(5)* 125=50`

So, number of students that take French is
`50`.
