Answer:

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.

The number of people who prefer vanilla ice cream to chocolate ice cream will be 56 and 94.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

A survey of people showed that they prefer vanilla ice cream to chocolate ice cream at a ratio of 3 to 5.

If 150 people were surveyed.

The number of people who would prefer each flavor will be

Let x be the number of people who prefer vanilla flavor.

Then the number of people who prefer chocolate flavor will be (150 – x).

x / (150 – x) = 3 / 5

On simplifying, we have

5x = 450 – 3x

8x = 450

 x = 56.25 ≈ 56

Then the number of people who prefer chocolate flavor will be

(150 – x) = 150 – 56.25 = 93.75 ≈ 94
