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.
