Question

Each student in a school was asked, "What is your favorite color?" The circle graph below shows how they answered.(a) the question is about the same graph but they want to know what color was chosen by 1/8 of the students?(b) Approximately what percentage of the students chose Other or Red?

Answer 1

For this problem, we are given a pie chart and we need to answer two questions about it.

The first question is which color was chosen by approximately one-eighth of the students. To determine the color, we need to find which slice of the chart takes 1 eigth of the space, the one that is closer to that is "Blue".

Then we need to estimate how many students choose "Other or Red", since "Red" is approximately 25% and "other" is very small, we can estimate that both take 30% of the chart.
