Question #23b62

Answer 1

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`

Answer 2

`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`
