60 people preferred the log flume

Explanation:

Assuming that the information is presented as a pie graph

a full circle is 360^0 and represents 180 people

120^0 is one third of 360^0 so represents 1/3 of the total

1/3 * 180 = 60

60 people

Explanation:

The first question to ask is 'What fraction of the pie chart is allocated to the log flume?'

Fraction = = ("sector angle")/(360°) = (120°)/(360°) = 1/3

This is the same fraction of the total number of people asked.

1/3 xx 180 = 60 people.

You can also write the comparison as a direct proportion:

120/360 = x/180

x= (120xx180)/360
