Asurvey of people showed that they prefer vanilla ice cream to chocolate ice cream at a ratio of 3 to 5. determine the number of people who would prefer each flavor if 150 people were surveyed . make a diagram, write an equation, or explain how you arrived at the number of people who prefer each flavor.

90 people would prefer chocolate. 60 people prefer vanilla.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 3 to 5 is 60%. 60% of people prefer chocolate. 60% of 150 is 90. 150-90 is 60.

Step-by-step explanation: first of all , find the total ratio

i.e 3 + 5 = 8

Number of Vanilla  = ratio of chocolate/ total ratio x 150

                                    = 3/8 x 150

                                    ≈ 56

therefore number of  chocolate = 150 - 56 = 94

the answer is 1/4
