At a school cafeteria, a staff person surveyed the food preferences of 35 students. For every five students, two said they liked healthy foods. How many students preferred healthy foods?(1 point) Responses 4 4 16 16 12 12 14

Answer 1

To find the total number of students who preferred healthy foods, we can multiply the number of groups of five students by two.

The total number of groups of five students is 35 divided by 5, which is 7.

So, 7 groups of five students would yield 7 x 2 = <<7*2=14>>14 students who preferred healthy foods. Answer: \boxed{14}.
