All students at Hammon Middle School filled out a questionnaire for the cafeteria. One question asked about ice cream flavor preferences.
45% of the students at Hammon Middle School like chocolate ice cream best.
30% of the students at Hammon Middle School like cookies and cream ice cream best.
25% of the students at Hammon Middle School like vanilla ice cream best
In Coach Reyes' 7th period PE class at Hammon Middle School, there are 40 students.
Create a bar graph to show the number of students in Coach Reyes' 7th period PE class who MOST LIKELY like chocolate ice cream best, like cookies and cream ice cream best, and like vanilla ice cream best.
Based on the data provided, we can create the following bar graph to show the preferences of students in Coach Reyes' 7th period PE class:
Chocolate ice cream: 45% of 40 students = 18 students
Cookies and cream ice cream: 30% of 40 students = 12 students
Vanilla ice cream: 25% of 40 students = 10 students
Therefore, the bar graph would show:
Chocolate ice cream: █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
Cookies and cream ice cream: █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
Vanilla ice cream: █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
This graph represents the preferences of students in Coach Reyes' 7th period PE class for various ice cream flavors.
howd you get 18, 12 and 10? Did you divide?
I apologize for the confusion. Let me clarify how I calculated the number of students:
There are 40 students in Coach Reyes' 7th period PE class.
To find the number of students who prefer each flavor:
- Chocolate ice cream: 45% of 40 students = 0.45 x 40 = 18 students
- Cookies and cream ice cream: 30% of 40 students = 0.30 x 40 = 12 students
- Vanilla ice cream: 25% of 40 students = 0.25 x 40 = 10 students
I multiplied the percentage of students who like each flavor by the total number of students in the class to find the number of students who most likely prefer each respective ice cream flavor.
Therefore, in Coach Reyes' 7th period PE class, there are 18 students who most likely like chocolate ice cream best, 12 students who most likely like cookies and cream ice cream best, and 10 students who most likely like vanilla ice cream best.
