Question

A group of adults were asked to name their favourite juice. The table gives information about their answers. Work out the angles that would be used to draw a pie chart.

FRUIT JUCE || ORANGE || APPLE || GRAPE || OTHER||

NUMBER || 40 || 27 || 15 || 8 ||

ANGLE || ? || ? || ? || ? ||

Answer 1

ORANGE: 160

APPLE: 108°

GRAPE: 60

OTHER: 32

Explanation:

THE SUM OF 40, 27, 15 AND 8 IS 90

90 GOES INTO 360 (THE ANGLES OF A CIRCLE) EXACTLY FOUR TIMES

TO GET EACH ANGLE OF THE PIE CHART YOU SIMPLY NEED TO TIMES EACH NUMBER BY FOUR!
