Question

At a school cafeteria a staff person surveyed the food preferences of 35 students for every five students to said they liked healthy food how many students prefer healthy foods

Answer 1

If for every five students surveyed, two said they liked healthy food, we can calculate the total number of students who prefer healthy foods as follows:

1. The ratio of students who like healthy food is 2 out of every 5 students.
2. First, determine how many groups of 5 are in 35 students:

\[
\frac{35}{5} = 7 \text{ groups}
\]

3. Since 2 out of 5 students prefer healthy foods, we can calculate the number of students who prefer healthy foods:

\[
2 \text{ students/group} \times 7 \text{ groups} = 14 \text{ students}
\]

So, 14 students prefer healthy foods.
