Fante 10
i. Draw a pie chart to illustrate the data.
ii. What percentage of the students speaks Ewe?
iii. What is the modal language?
iv. What fractions of the students speak either Ga or Fante

Answer 1

Answer:27.78% ; Twi; 1/3

Explanation:

Given the data :

Language - - - - - - - Number of students

Nzema - - - - - - - - - - - 5

Ga - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 20

Twi - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 30

Ewe - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25

Fante - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10

1.) To prepare pie chart:

Total number of students :

(5 + 20 + 30 + 25 + 10) = 90 students

Nzema: (5/90) × 360 = 20

Ga : (20/90) × 360 = 79.99 = 80

Twi : (30/90) × 360 = 119.99 = 120

Ewe : (25/90) × 360 = 79.99 = 100

Fante : (10/90) × 360 = 39.99 = 40

Total = 360

Pie chart is attached in the picture below

2)Percentage students that speak Ewe = (25/90) * 100 = 27.78%

Or (100/360) * 100 = 27.78%

3.) Modal language : This is the language spoken by majority of the students = Twi

4.) Fraction of student that speak either GA or Fante :

(GA or Fante) = (20 + 10) / 90 = 30/90 = 1/3
