Answer:
2100 people
Step-by-step explanation:
The people in the survey either chose pasta or hamburger. If the fraction 8/13 people chose pasta, then all of the other people chose hamburger.
The fraction of people who chose hamburger is [tex]\frac{13-8}{13} = \frac{5}{13}[/tex].
Multiply the total number of people who took the survey by the fraction of people who chose hamburger.
[tex]5460*\frac{5}{13}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5460*5}{13}[/tex] To multiply with a fraction, combine into the numerator
[tex]=\frac{27300}{13}[/tex] Reduce the fraction. Divide top by bottom number
[tex]=2100[/tex] Number of people who chose hamburger
Therefore 2100 people favoured hamburgers.
