Answer 1

Answer: 171

Explanation:

From the question, Kiera randomly selected 35% of the eight grade students in the school asking them the food they like most. Out of the students selected, 60 chose chicken nuggets as the food they like most in the cafeteria.

To predict the number of eight- graded students in Kiera's school who would choose chicken nuggets as their favorite food served, we divide 60 by 35%. Mathematically, this will give:

= 60 ÷ 35%

= 60 ÷ 35/100

= 60 × 100/35

= 6000/35

= 171.4 approximately 171

171 eight-grade students would choose nuggets as their favorite food.
