Use the frequency table about preferred methods of transportation to answer the assessment questions.
How many students chose walking as their preferred method of transportation?
A. 6
B. 3
C. 9
D. none of these
To answer this question, we need to refer to the frequency table provided. Look for the number of students who chose walking as their preferred method of transportation in the table:
Activity | Sixth Graders | Seventh Graders | Total
---------------------------------------------------
Walk | 3 | 6 |
Bike | 5 | 3 |
Skateboard | 2 | 1 |
Total | | |
From the table, we see that 3 sixth graders and 6 seventh graders chose walking. To find the total number of students who chose walking as their preferred method of transportation, we need to add these two numbers together.
3 sixth graders + 6 seventh graders = 9 students
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 9 students chose walking as their preferred method of transportation.
To determine how many students chose walking as their preferred method of transportation, we need to look at the frequency table. According to the table, 6 sixth graders and 3 seventh graders chose walking. Therefore, the total number of students who chose walking is 6 + 3 = 9.
So, the correct answer is C. 9.
