Answer:
59 (1st option)
Explanation:
Given:
Total students taking the foreign language = 167
To find:
The number of students taking Spanish
To determine the number of students for Spanish, we will do an estimation:
The Spanish region is represented by the red region
The blue and red region is approximately half of the circle. This means half of the total students
Half of the students = 1/2(167) = about 83 students
The blue region in the half of the circle is about 1/3. The red represents the remaining part (2/3)
The Spanish region = 2/3 × 83
The Spanish region = 55.3
The closest number to this in the options is 59 (1st option)
