190/(190+135+220) * 360 ≈ 125.5° I need help with the steps
@KamiBug
@likeabossssssss
what do u mean ?
I need the steps explained on how to do this here ill type the whole question
A survey about the student government program at a school finds the following results. 190 students like the program 135 students think the program is unnecessary 220 students plan on running for student government next year. If a circle graph were made from this data, what would the measure of the central angle be for the group that likes the program? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
the size of the angle depends on how big the group is, compared to the other groups the 190/(190+135+220) part means that we are calculating the fraction of people who like the program
people who like the program/total people = 190/(190+135+220) with me so far?
Yes
good, now we need to figure out how we would put this on a pie graph
a pie graph is a circle, so the whole thing is 360 degrees so we take our fraction from before: 190/(190+135+220) and multiply that by 360 to figure out how big the section needs to be
|dw:1480274475593:dw|
okay
it says to round to the nearest whole number, so your final answer would be 126 degrees
Thank you so much
