Step-by-step explanation:

12 is 24 percent of 50, and 24 percent of 150 is 36

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. The number of people who prefer roast beef sandwiches out of 150 people is 36.

What is a Ratio?

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

Given that in a sample of 50 people, 12 were the people who preferred roast beef sandwiches. Therefore, the ratio of people who prefer roast beef sandwiches to the total number of people surveyed will be,

[tex]\dfrac{\text{People who prefer roast beef sandwich}}{\text{People who were surveyed}} = \dfrac{12}{50}[/tex]

Similarly, if the ratio is applied to a group of 150 people,

[tex]\dfrac{\text{People who prefer roast beef sandwich}}{\text{People who were surveyed}} = \dfrac{12}{50}\\\\\\\dfrac{\text{People who prefer roast beef sandwich}}{\text{150}} = \dfrac{12}{50}\\\\\text{People who prefer roast beef sandwich}=36[/tex]

Hence, the number of people who prefer roast beef sandwiches out of 150 people is 36.
