To determine how many of the 140 students who selected the Jaguars are freshmen, we refer to the information provided about the bar graph.
The bar for the Jaguars indicates that freshmen account for 0 to 40 percent of the total, while sophomores account for 40 to 100 percent. This means that 40 percent of the students who selected the Jaguars are freshmen.
To calculate the number of freshmen:
1. Calculate 40 percent of the total number of students who selected Jaguars (which is 140):
\[
\text{Number of freshmen} = 0.40 \times 140 = 56
\]
Therefore, the number of freshmen who selected the Jaguars is **56 students**.
