"The circle graph at the right shows the results of a time study in which participants recorded how they spent their time over a 24-h period.
1. What is the measure of the central angle that represents the time spent on each activity?
a. sleep, b. food, c. work, d. errands, e. entertainment, f. other
Sleep= 31%, food= 9%, work= 20%, errands=7%, entertainment= 18%, other= 15%"
