The problem states that \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the people surveyed preferred eating pasta to hamburgers. If 5,430 people responded to the survey, we need to determine how many actually favored hamburgers.

Since \( \frac{1}{10} \) preferred pasta, the fraction of people who favored hamburgers is:

\[
1 - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{9}{10}
\]

Now, multiply this fraction by the total number of people surveyed:

\[
\text{Number of people who favored hamburgers} = \frac{9}{10} \times 5430
\]

Let me calculate that.The number of people who favored hamburgers is 4,887.

Would you like further clarification or details on any step of the process?

Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:
1. What if \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the people preferred pasta instead? How would this change the result?
2. How can you express the remaining percentage of people who preferred hamburgers as a decimal?
3. How would the result change if only 4,000 people participated in the survey?
4. What percentage of people preferred hamburgers in this survey?
5. If \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the people surveyed liked pizza, how many people would that be?

**Tip:** To find a part of a whole, multiply the total by the appropriate fraction representing that part.

A local Papa Gino’s conducted a food survey. The survey showed that 1/10 of the people surveyed preferred eating pasta to hamburgers. If 5,430 responded to the survey, how many actually favored hamburgers?

Learn how to calculate the number of people who preferred hamburgers in a survey of 5,430 respondents. Using fractions and basic arithmetic, we determine how many people favored hamburgers based on the fact that 1/10 preferred pasta.
