To find out how many girls picked a sport other than football as their favorite sport, we can sum the number of girls who picked baseball and soccer.

From the table:

  • Girls who picked baseball: 31
  • Girls who picked soccer: 62
  • Girls who picked football: 51

Now, we add the numbers of girls who picked baseball and soccer: 31 (baseball) + 62 (soccer) = 93

Therefore, the number of girls who picked a sport other than football is 93.
