If a student is selected at random, what is the probability he or she prefers meat toppings ?
68 students prefer cheese
79 students prefer meat
70 students prefer veggie
70/208, 35/104 or 1/3 is that correct
Where did you get 70/208?
208 total students
70 prefer meat ?
I am sure I am not understanding this one. Help... =)

To find the probability that a student selected at random prefers meat toppings, you need to divide the number of students who prefer meat toppings by the total number of students.
Given that 79 students prefer meat toppings, you can calculate the probability as:
Probability = Number of students who prefer meat toppings / Total number of students
Total number of students = 68 (cheese) + 79 (meat) + 70 (veggie) = 217
Probability = 79 / 217
Simplifying this fraction, you get:
Probability ≈ 0.364
So, the correct probability is approximately 0.364 or 36.4%.
