Question

HELP ME PLEASE!!

Twenty-four 10th graders were surveyed to find out what pets they had at home. Using the
data from the pie graph, determine the total number of students that have either a dog or a cat at home.

Show all your work. Explain in words how you found your answer. Tell why you took the steps you did to solve the problem!!

Answer 1

15 tenth graders

Explanation:

we can see that dogs take up 1/2 of the graph

birds take up 1/2 of 1/2 so they take up 1/4

other and cats together take up 1/4 of the graph which is 1/8 for each

you must add dogs and cats together and then multiply it bu 24

1/2 + 1/8

4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8

now multiply that by 24

24 * 5/8

`(24)/(1) * (5)/(8) = (3)/(1) * (5)/(1) =15`

that is the answer
