To determine the relative frequency of the percent of 7th graders who prefer mountains, we need to first find the total number of 7th graders and then the number of 7th graders who prefer mountains.
Total 7th graders = 110
7th graders who prefer mountains = 40
Now, divide the number of 7th graders who prefer mountains by the total number of 7th graders and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
(40/110) * 100 ≈ 36.4%
Therefore, the relative frequency of the percent of 7th graders who prefer mountains is 36.4%. The closest answer provided is:
36.4%
