Answer:
Question 3:
Question 4:
Question 5:
- About 200 (rounding to hundreds).
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 3:
The circular graph shows the following results of the survey about Favorite Vacation Spots:
- 48% Hawaii
- 13% Other
- 15% California
- 24% Florida
You can verify that the sum of all the parts is 100%:
- 48% + 13% + 15% + 24% = 100%.
Then, since 48% chose Haway, 100% - 48% = 52% did not choose Haway.
Since, 140 families were surveyed, a reasonalbe estimate for the number of families that did not choose Hawaii is:
- 140 × 52% = 140 × 0.52 ≈ 140 × 0.50 = 70.
Question 2.
1. Data:
- 61% of middle school students do physical activity
- There are 828 middle school students
2. Solution
Number of students that do physical activity:
- 61% of 828
- 61% × 828
- Approximation: 60% × 800 = 0.60 × 800 = 480
- Rounded to the next hundred: 500
- Answer: about 500.
Question 3.
1. Data:
- 423 students
- 57.6% live within 5 miles of school
2. Solution:
Reasonalbe estimate:
- 57.6% of 423 = 0.576 × 423
- Estimation: 0.60 × 400 = 240
- Round to hundred: 200.
