Using proportional reasoning, about how many students out of the 2,000 would you expect to select an orange as their favorite fruit?

Answer 1

almost 567 students

Explanation:

all fruits = 23+18+34+27+18 = 120

possibility of selecting an orange as favourite fruits by one student = 34/120 = 17/60

possibility of selecting an orange as favourite fruits by 2000 students = 17/60×2000 =1700/3 = 566.6666...=567 students
