Question

AWARDING 100 POINTS

Write blue, red, or orange in each section of the circle graph based on the following data:

There are 32 children. 25% of the children like blue, 16 children like red, and 8 children like orange.

Answer 1

Ok so 25% like blue, so if we had to make an equation it would be 0.25 x 32 because that would give us the number of children who like blue. So, when we do that we get 8 which is the same amount of kids who like orange. So, 1/4 of that circle would be blue and another one fourth of the circle would be orange. So now we have to look at the red. It says "16 children like red" and we know that theres a total of 32 kids. So, since 1/2 of the circle was of the kids who like blue and orange, the other half has to show the amount of kids who just like red. Look at screenshot below to help.

Answer 2

25% of the children like blue, so 0.25*32 = 8 like blue. This is the same number of people who like orange.

So you'll have "blue" in one quarter slice and "orange" in another quarter slice.

So far, we've counted 8 blue + 8 orange = 16 total. Because there are 32 kids overall, this leaves 32-16 = 16 left. This matches up with the fact that 16 like red. This is half of 32, meaning we'll shade two quarter slices to indicate red. Put another way, you'll have "red" in two slices.

Check out the diagram below. That's one possible configuration (other combos are possible).
