To determine the relative frequency of the percent of 7th graders who prefer mountains, you would divide the number of 7th graders who prefer mountains by the total number of 7th graders and then convert the result to a percentage.

In this case, there are 40 7th graders who prefer mountains out of a total of 110 7th graders:

40/110 = 0.363636...

Converting this to a percentage and rounding to the nearest tenth gives you 36.4%.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

36.4%
