Favorite Sport
Baseball 33
Soccer 62
Football 5
A. 1/4
B.1/3
C.1/2
D.2/3

Answer 1

If you add them all up you get 100. And you're trying to get the traction of baseball so you divided 33 / 100 which equals .33 and 1/3 also equals .33. The right answer is B

Answer 2

option: B is correct (1/3 fraction of the circle represent baseball)

Explanation:

We are asked that:

If you were to sketch a circle graph for the data shown in the table below, about what fraction of the circle would represent baseball ?

The data is given as:

Favorite Sport

Baseball 33

Soccer 62

Football 5

total people =33+62+5=100

Hence, the fraction of the circle is given by:

Number of people whose favourite sport us baseball to the total number of people.

i.e.
`(33)/(100)=0.33`

Also this is the simplest form of the fraction as there is no common factor in the numerator and the denominator.

also 0.33 is approximately equal to 1/3.

Hence, 1/3 fraction of the circle would represent baseball.

Hence option B is correct.
