fibonaccichick666 · Answer

But why do you think b?  What is your justification?

anonymous · Answer

I think B cause they are talking about monthly budget

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

why couldn't I use a bar graph for a budget, what are the advantages to using a circle graph?

anonymous · Answer

idk ??? soo is it a

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

.... I want you to justify why you think B.  I am not telling you if you are correct until I get some logical reasons that a circle graph is the best choice

anonymous · Answer

i think a graph that is made by dividing a circle into sections or categories.  It allows for comparison of the part to the whole.

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok, and so if it compares to a whole, why would that be useful if you had a percent budget?

anonymous · Answer

I dont really know

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok, what percent represents a whole?

anonymous · Answer

Like 5/5 4/4 3/3/

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok, and what percent is 5/5 or 4/4 or 3/3?

anonymous · Answer

100%

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

right, so can a circle graph hold over 100%?

anonymous · Answer

nope

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

so, can a budget go over 100% of money available?

anonymous · Answer

yes

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

it can? you can spend money you do not have?

anonymous · Answer

no

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

So then how could a budget use up more than 100% of funds available?

anonymous · Answer

Well if it cant be B then i think a or C

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

Stop trying to answer the question and just be logical

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

we are trying to justify why it could or could not be a circle graph

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

so, a circle graph cannot hold more than 100%, a monthly budget cannot use more than 100% of the funds available, and a good budget allocates all of the funds.  So, what does this make you think?
