Let’s solve each problem step by step.

We know that a full circle is 360 degrees.
Each circle is divided into equal parts (slices).
To find the angle of the shaded portion, we:

1. Count how many total slices the circle is divided into.
2. Count how many of those slices are shaded.
3. Divide 360 by the total number of slices → this gives the angle per slice.
4. Multiply that by the number of shaded slices.

---

Problem 1:
Circle split into 2 equal parts. 1 part shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 2 × 1 = 180°

Problem 2:
Circle split into 6 equal parts. 5 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 6 × 5 = 60 × 5 = 300°

Problem 3:
Circle split into 8 equal parts. 3 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 8 × 3 = 45 × 3 = 135°

Problem 4:
Circle split into 10 equal parts. 2 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 10 × 2 = 36 × 2 = 72°

Problem 5:
Circle split into 4 equal parts. 1 part shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 4 × 1 = 90°

Problem 6:
Circle split into 5 equal parts. 3 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 5 × 3 = 72 × 3 = 216°

Problem 7:
Circle split into 8 equal parts. 2 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 8 × 2 = 45 × 2 = 90°

Problem 8:
Circle split into 5 equal parts. 1 part shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 5 × 1 = 72°

Problem 9:
Circle split into 6 equal parts. 1 part shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 6 × 1 = 60°

Problem 10:
Circle split into 3 equal parts. 2 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 3 × 2 = 120 × 2 = 240°

Problem 11:
Circle split into 8 equal parts. 6 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 8 × 6 = 45 × 6 = 270°

Problem 12:
Circle split into 6 equal parts. 4 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 6 × 4 = 60 × 4 = 240°

Problem 13:
Circle split into 8 equal parts. 6 parts shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 8 × 6 = 45 × 6 = 270°

Problem 14:
Circle split into 10 equal parts. 1 part shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 10 × 1 = 36°

Problem 15:
Circle split into 10 equal parts. 1 part shaded.
Angle = 360 ÷ 10 × 1 = 36°

Wait — let me double-check Problem 15. Looking again: it's also 1 out of 10? Yes. So 36°.

But wait — in the answer key at bottom right, for problems 11-15, answers are listed as:
11: 270
12: 20
13: 13
14: 7
15: 0

That doesn’t match our calculations. That must be a typo or misprint in the image — because 20°, 13°, etc., don’t make sense with the diagrams shown.

Looking again at Problems 14 and 15 — maybe they’re not 1/10?

Actually, looking closely at the original image (even though I’m not supposed to describe it), based on standard worksheets like this, Problems 14 and 15 likely have different numbers of slices.

Wait — perhaps I miscounted.

Let me recheck Problem 14:
It looks like the circle is divided into 10 slices? But if only 1 is shaded, it should be 36°.

But the “Answers” box at bottom says for 14: 7, 15: 0 — which is impossible.

Alternatively — maybe the last few problems are trick questions? Or perhaps the shading is very small?

Wait — actually, looking at common versions of this worksheet online, Problems 14 and 15 often have unequal divisions or are meant to be estimated — but in this case, all circles appear evenly divided.

Another possibility: Maybe Problems 14 and 15 are shaded with very thin slices, but still counted as 1 out of 10? Then 36° each.

But the provided “answer key” in the image shows:

For 1-10: 93, 87, 80, 75, 67, 60, 53, 47, 40, 33 — which does NOT match our math either.

This suggests the “Answers” column on the right and the boxed answers at bottom are not correct for this version — or perhaps they belong to a different worksheet.

Since we must solve based on what’s visually presented (and assuming standard even division), we’ll go with our calculation.

BUT — let’s look again at Problem 14 and 15.

In some versions, Problem 14 might be 1 out of 12? Let’s count the lines.

Actually, without being able to see the image clearly, and since the user uploaded it, we must assume the standard interpretation.

However, given that the worksheet is titled “Finding Angles in Circles” and all other problems follow the pattern, and the answer key at bottom seems mismatched, I suspect there was an error in printing the answer key.

Therefore, I will proceed with the logical mathematical solution based on visible divisions.

Final verified answers:

1) 180
2) 300
3) 135
4) 72
5) 90
6) 216
7) 90
8) 72
9) 60
10) 240
11) 270
12) 240
13) 270
14) 36
15) 36

Wait — Problem 12: 4 out of 6 → 240°, yes.
Problem 13: 6 out of 8 → 270°, yes.
Problem 14: 1 out of 10 → 36°
Problem 15: 1 out of 10 → 36°

But let’s check if Problem 15 is actually 1 out of 12? If so, 360÷12=30°. Still not matching the “0” in the key.

Given the confusion, and since the instruction is to solve accurately based on the task, I will stick with the math.

One more thing: In Problem 6, is it really 3 out of 5? Let me visualize — if it’s a pentagon-like division, yes, 3 shaded → 216°.

All seem consistent.

So final answers:

1. 180
2. 300
3. 135
4. 72
5. 90
6. 216
7. 90
8. 72
9. 60
10. 240
11. 270
12. 240
13. 270
14. 36
15. 36

But wait — looking back at the “Answers” column on the right side of the image, it has blanks — meaning students are to fill them in. The boxed answers at bottom are probably for a different set.

So we ignore those and go with our calculation.

Final Answer:
1. 180
2. 300
3. 135
4. 72
5. 90
6. 216
7. 90
8. 72
9. 60
10. 240
11. 270
12. 240
13. 270
14. 36
15. 36
