Question

Out of the 30 days in June, you run 13 days and swim 6 days. You lift weights 7 days

and ride a bike 4 days. If you make a pie chart to show this data, how many degrees
of the circle should represent swimming?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

72°

Explanation:

In a properly constructed pie chart, the proportion of the circle devoted to each section is the same as the proportion of that section to the the whole.

(6 swim days)/(30 days) = (swim pie angle)/(360°)

Multiply by 360° to find ...

swim pie angle = (360°)(6/30) = 72°

72° of the circle should represent swimming.
