At a school cafeteria, a staff person surveyed the food preferences of 35 students. For every five students, two said they liked healthy foods. How many students preferred healthy foods?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how many students preferred healthy foods, we need to calculate the ratio of students who like healthy foods to the total number of students.

The ratio is 2 healthy food lovers for every 5 students.
So, the fraction of students who like healthy foods is 2/5.

To find the number of students who liked healthy foods, we multiply the fraction by the total number of students: 2/5 * 35 students = <<2/5*35=14>>14 students.

Therefore, 14 students preferred healthy foods.
