"How 7th Grade Students at Madison Middle School Use Their Smart Phones"

I recently surveyed seventh graders at Madison Middle School to determine how they used their cell phones. My goal was to determine which daily activities were the most popular. Out of 151 seventh graders in our school, 93 of them use smart phones. 57 of those students agreed to track their cell phones usage in a journal for three days. I compared journal statistics and gathered the following data.

Data revealed that students spent 35 percent of their phone time playing games and using apps. These included games played alone and against friends. It also included social media apps. Students spent 21 percent of their time texting and 20 percent of their time listening to music. Music included songs downloaded on their phones and music that streamed from other sources.14 percent of cell phone time was spent browsing the Internet while 9 percent of the time was spent using the phone to take photographs. Most ironically, students reported spending only 1 percent of their time using cell phones to make actual phone calls.

Answer 2

Answer: The pie chart breaks information into easy-to-read chunks.

The advantage of presenting information in a pie chart is that a chart can break information into easy-to-read chunks. A chart will not only provide visual support for the information we are receiving. It will also arrange information in a way that is clearer and easier to process. Finally, it will allow you to concentrate on the most important details.
