1. How many students chose walking as their preferred method of transportation?
• 6
• 3
• 9
• none of these
9 students chose walking as their preferred method of transportation.
To find the number of students who chose walking as their preferred method of transportation, look at the frequency table for sixth graders and seventh graders. Adding up the number of students who chose walking from both grades, we get:
Sixth Graders: 3
Seventh Graders: 6
Therefore, the total number of students who chose walking as their preferred method of transportation is 3 + 6 = 9.
The answer is: 9
To find the answer to this question, we need to look at the frequency table provided. The table shows the number of sixth graders and seventh graders who chose each method of transportation. We are specifically interested in the number of students who chose walking as their preferred method of transportation.
According to the table, 3 sixth graders and 6 seventh graders chose walking as their preferred method of transportation. To find the total number of students who chose walking, we can add these two numbers together:
3 + 6 = 9
Therefore, the correct answer is 9.
