Question

of the students, and corn was chosen by 20% of the students. Which vegetable was chosen by the greatest number of students? In your response, enter 1 for green beans, 2 for broccoli, 3 for peas, or 4 for corn.(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine which vegetable was chosen by the greatest number of students, we need to convert the percentages and fractions into a comparable format. We can assume there are 100 total students for easier calculations.

1. Green beans: 0.35 of students = 0.35 * 100 = 35 students
2. Broccoli: 0.2 of students = 0.2 * 100 = 20 students
3. Peas: Chosen by 14 students
4. Corn: 20% of students = 20/100 * 100 = 20 students

Now, let's compare the number of students who chose each vegetable:

• Green beans: 35 students
• Broccoli: 20 students
• Peas: 14 students
• Corn: 20 students

The greatest number of students chose green beans.

Therefore, the answer is 1 (for green beans).
