Answer 1

Gven:

Total number of children = 217

Number of children who prefer watermelon = 132

Number of people who prefer watermelon = 243

From the given table, let's determine how you would find the relative frequency of being a child who prefers watermelon.

To find the relative frequency of being a child who prefers watermelon, apply the formula:

$r=\frac{number\text{ of children who prefer watermelon}}{total\text{ number of children}}$

Hence, we have:

$r=\frac{132}{217}$

Therefore, we are to divide 132 by 217.

ANSWER:

D. Divide 132 by 217
