Question

A scientist measured the composition of a lean adult male human body. He found that the composition was as follows:

60% water, 17% protein, 17% fat, and 6% other.

How could this data be best represented in the scientist's report of his experiment?

Answer 1

Adding up the percentages given in the question above,
60% + 17% + 17% + 6%
will give us a hundred percent. Since all parts are being represented in the breakdown of percentages, the scientist may present the % composition in a pie graph.

Answer 2

Answer: In a circle graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle graph can be used to represent the data that is been collected. The data states that person has 60% of water, 17 % fat, 6% , 17 % protein and 6% other.

The data can be represented in the form of circle graph where a circle will be drawn and it will have different compartments showing percentage of composition such as water, protein, fat and other.

hence, the correct answer is circle graph.
