Let’s look at the pie chart step by step to answer each question.
The pie chart shows how campers voted for their favorite activity. The whole circle = all the campers. Each slice shows what fraction or part chose that activity.
Looking at the slices:
- “horseback riding” takes up HALF of the circle → that’s 1/2
- “canoeing” takes up a quarter → that’s 1/4
- “camp fire” and “crafts” together take up the other quarter → so each must be 1/8 (since they look equal)
Now let’s answer each question:
1. What activity did campers enjoy the most?
→ Look for the biggest slice. That’s “horseback riding” — it’s half the circle!
2. What fraction chose canoeing?
→ Canoeing is one-quarter of the circle → 1/4
3. What fraction chose horseback riding?
→ Horseback riding is half the circle → 1/2
4. Did more campers choose camp fires or crafts as their favorite?
→ Both slices are the same size → so NO, neither was chosen more. They’re equal.
5. Was camp fire or canoeing more popular?
→ Canoeing is 1/4, camp fire is 1/8 → 1/4 is bigger than 1/8 → so canoeing was more popular.
Final Answer:
1. horseback riding
2. 1/4
3. 1/2
4. No, they were equally popular.
5. canoeing
