QUESTION A

One-fourth of a circle graph is in the shape of a quadrant. This is shown below:

The color with an approximate shape as shown in the diagram is Pink.

Hence, the answer is PINK.

QUESTION B

Pink or Purple takes up more than 1 quadrant but not quite 2 quadrants.

The angle of a quadrant is 90° while for the full circle, it is 360°.

If we assume that Pink or Purple takes up 1 and a half quadrants, we can approximate that the angle will be:


90+(90)/(2)=135\degree

Therefore, the percentage will be:


(135)/(360)*100=37.5\%

This is approximately 40%.

Hence, the answer is 40%.
