How do colleges look at grades?

Say you have your heart set on getting a math major. When applying to college, will colleges care if you get all B’s in English and History (while receiving all A’s in Math and probably science)? I know that they do care, of course, but do they weigh the grade values differently, meaning do they care more that you got all A’s in Math and Science? Do they let the B’s slip a little because they’re not exactly related to your field of study? Same thing goes with other majors, like English or History.
