Math Problem Statement
Solution
To answer the questions based on the provided pie chart:
Part (a)
The question asks which category was chosen by approximately one-fifth of the community. In a pie chart, one-fifth of the community would correspond to 20% of the chart. Observing the sections, the "Cat" category appears to represent approximately one-fifth of the pie chart.
Answer for (a): Cat
Part (b)
This part asks for the approximate percentage of the community that chose "Dog" or "Bird." Observing the chart:
- The "Dog" and "Bird" sections are relatively large compared to other categories, each likely close to 30% based on their slice sizes.
Estimating these two sections together, "Dog" and "Bird" could sum up to around 60%.
Answer for (b): 60%
Part (c)
If 5% of the community chose "None," the question is what percentage chose "Fish."
In the chart, "Fish" appears to be about three times the size of the "None" section, suggesting around 15%.
Answer for (c): 15%
Would you like further explanation on any part of this solution?
Here are related questions for further exploration:
- What is the method to convert a pie chart segment into a percentage?
- How can we approximate percentages in a pie chart without precise values?
- How is one-fifth represented as a percentage in various contexts?
- If given actual percentages, how would calculations change in this scenario?
- What other types of data visualizations could present similar survey data effectively?
Tip: When analyzing pie charts, remember that each slice visually represents a part-to-whole relationship, which can be approximated by comparing segment sizes visually.
