A group of students was surveyed about their favorite vegetable. Green beans were chosen by 0.35 of the students, broccoli was chosen by 0.2 of the students, peas were chosen by 1/4 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)
To determine which vegetable was chosen by the greatest number of students, we need to compare the fractions and percentages for each vegetable:
- Green beans were chosen by 0.35 of the students.
- Broccoli was chosen by 0.2 (or 20%) of the students.
- Peas were chosen by 1/4 (or 0.25) of the students.
- Corn was chosen by 20% (or 0.2) of the students.
Now let's compare these values:
Green beans: 0.35
Broccoli: 0.2
Peas: 0.25
Corn: 0.2
Green beans, with a value of 0.35, are the highest fraction/percentage listed, meaning that they were chosen by the greatest number of students.
So, enter 1 for green beans.
