Answer 3

To find the relative frequency of the percent of 7th graders who prefer mountains, follow these steps:

1. Look at the table and find the total number of 7th graders, which is 110.
2. Find the number of 7th graders who prefer mountains, which is 40.
3. Divide the number of 7th graders who prefer mountains by the total number of 7th graders, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

(40/110) * 100 = 36.4%

Therefore, the relative frequency of the percent of 7th graders who prefer mountains is 36.4%.
