60 people preferred the log flume

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#

Answer 2 · 2018-01-08T13:56:52

#60# people

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#
