Answer 1

To find the total number of sixth-grade students surveyed, we need to add the number of sixth-grade students who preferred each subject:

- Math: 53
- English: 47
- Science: 42

Now, let's sum these numbers:

53 + 47 + 42 = 142

Therefore, the total number of sixth-grade students surveyed is **142**.
