Answer:
20 students do NOT prefer math over lunch.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.
If nine out of ten students ([tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]) prefer math class over lunch, then we can infer that one out of ten students ([tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]) do not.
[tex]\frac{1}{10} = 0.10[/tex] or 10%
As we can see, this equals a 10% of the students that were asked. If 200 students were asked, we would need to find what 10% of 200 would be. We can do this by multiplying 200 by the decimal form of 10% like so,
[tex]200 * 0.10 = 20 students[/tex]
So we can see that 20 students do NOT prefer math over lunch.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
