What is the fraction of students who like the program?

anonymous · Answer

218

mertsj · Answer

218 is not a fraction

mertsj · Answer

There are 245 students in all.  218 of them like the program so the fraction of the students who like the program is 218 out of 245 or 218/245

mertsj · Answer

Therefore they should have that part of the circle in the circle graph.

mertsj · Answer

Since a circle has 360 degrees they should have this many degrees:
$$\frac{218}{245}\times360^{o}$$

That picture I posted gives a similar example. I also have the answer for when you want to check yours. Mertsj gave the same explanation.
