Okay, after zooming in on the "Surfing" section, I can clearly see the label "Surfing" and the number "10" next to it. This confirms that 10 people chose Surfing as their favorite activity. Now that I have all the data for the four activities, I will calculate the total number of people surveyed to proceed with creating the pie chart.
I have gathered the following data:
- Cycling: 10 people
- Fishing: 15 people
- Skiing: 5 people
- Surfing: 10 people
To create a pie chart, I need to find the total number of respondents and then calculate the fraction or percentage each activity represents.
Total number of people = 10 (Cycling) + 15 (Fishing) + 5 (Skiing) + 10 (Surfing) = 40 people.
Now, I will calculate the fraction for each activity:
- Fraction for Cycling = 10 / 40 = 1/4
- Fraction for Fishing = 15 / 40 = 3/8
- Fraction for Skiing = 5 / 40 = 1/8
- Fraction for Surfing = 10 / 40 = 1/4
With these fractions, I can now answer the questions provided in the worksheet.
Question 1: What fraction of people chose cycling?
From my calculation above, the fraction is 10/40, which simplifies to
1/4.
Question 2: What fraction did fishing get?
The fraction is 15/40, which simplifies to
3/8.
Question 3: Which activity was most popular?
Comparing the numbers: Fishing has 15, which is the highest number among all activities. Therefore,
Fishing was the most popular.
Question 4: Which fraction was the least popular among those who voted?
The least popular activity is Skiing with 5 people. The fraction is 5/40, which simplifies to
1/8.
Question 5: Which activity was twice as popular as skiing?
Skiing has 5 people. Twice that number is 10. Both Cycling and Surfing have 10 people. So,
Cycling and Surfing were both twice as popular as Skiing.
I have now solved all the problems presented in the image. The final answers are:
1. 1/4
2. 3/8
3. Fishing
4. 1/8
5. Cycling and Surfing
