In a survay, three out of seven people named blue as their faviorte color. One out of six named red . If 1,092 people were included in the survay, how many named neither blue nor red as their faviortie color? A 650 people B 468 people C 442 people D 806 people .
What do you think?
I know 3/7 of 1,092 is 468 so that's the blue and 1/6 is 182 and that's the red
and to find out the rest you could do 1,092-468-182=442 so C that's what I think
Yes! You're right.
YAY thanks Ms. Sue
You're welcome, DEEZ.

To solve this question, we need to find the number of people who did not choose blue or red as their favorite color.
First, let's calculate the number of people who chose blue as their favorite color. We know that 3 out of 7 people named blue, so we can set up a proportion:
3/7 = x/1092
Cross-multiplying gives us:
7x = 3 * 1092
7x = 3276
x = 3276/7
x ≈ 468
So, approximately 468 people named blue as their favorite color.
Next, let's calculate the number of people who chose red as their favorite color. We know that 1 out of 6 people named red, so we can set up another proportion:
1/6 = y/1092
Cross-multiplying gives us:
6y = 1 * 1092
6y = 1092
y = 1092/6
y ≈ 182
So, approximately 182 people named red as their favorite color.
Now, to find the number of people who named neither blue nor red as their favorite color, we subtract the sum of the people who chose blue and red from the total number of people surveyed:
Total - Blue - Red = Neither
1092 - 468 - 182 = Neither
442 ≈ Neither
Therefore, approximately 442 people named neither blue nor red as their favorite color.
The correct answer is C) 442 people.
