Question

Mr. Salvador's after-school bird-watching club surveyed students in the school, asking them which were their favorite birds. The chart shows the results of the survey. If the survey results are representative of all the students in the school district, approximately how many of the 2,400 students in the district prefer either eagles or hawks?

Answer 1

1200
The sum of the areas that represent eagles and hawks is about half of the chart area. Therefore about half the students in the district, 1200, prefer these birds.
