Answer 1

To find how many students in Class B prefer apples, we can use the information given in the two-way table.

From the table:
- Total students who prefer apples: 31
- Total students in Class A who prefer apples: 13

To find the number of students in Class B who prefer apples, we can use the following calculation:

\[
\text{Students in Class B who prefer apples} = \text{Total students who prefer apples} - \text{Students in Class A who prefer apples}
\]

Substituting the known values:

\[
\text{Students in Class B who prefer apples} = 31 - 13 = 18
\]

Therefore, the number of students in Class B who prefer apples is **18**.
