The relative frequency of the percent of 7th graders who prefer mountains can be calculated as follows:
Number of 7th graders who prefer mountains: 40
Total number of 7th graders: 110
40/110 ≈ 0.364
Converting this to a percentage: 0.364 * 100 ≈ 36.4%
Therefore, the relative frequency of the percent of 7th graders who prefer mountains is 36.4%.
