Question

Calculating Within one week of the declaration of war in 1914, the German reserves were called up and 3.8 million men were in the German Army. Divide the circle below into a circle graph that shows the number of men that would have fought on Germany's Western Front in France and how many would have been ready to face the Russian army on the Eastern Front, according to the Schlieffen Plan. Then label each circle section.​

Answer 1

The circle graph divides into ten sections, nine representing the Western Front (France) for 90% of 3.8 million German forces and one section for the Eastern Front (Russia) for 10% allocation, as per the Schlieffen Plan.

To create a circle graph representing the allocation of German forces according to the Schlieffen Plan:

Total German Forces: 3.8 million men

Allocation for Western Front (France):

90% of the forces were designated for the Western Front.

Calculate 90% of 3.8 million:

`\(0.9 * 3.8 \text{ million} = 3.42 \text{ million}\)`

This represents the number of men allocated for the Western Front

Allocation for Eastern Front (Russia):

10% of the forces were allocated for the Eastern Front.

Calculate 10% of 3.8 million:

`\(0.1 * 3.8 \text{ million} = 0.38 \text{ million}\)`

This represents the number of men allocated for the Eastern Front (Russia).

Visually representing this on a circle graph:

Divide the circle into ten equal sections.

Label nine sections as "Western Front (France)" and one section as "Eastern Front (Russia)."

This representation visually demonstrates the allocation of approximately 90% of German forces for the Western Front (France) and around 10% for the Eastern Front (Russia) according to the Schlieffen Plan.
