Anthony took inventory of the automobiles on the sales lot of a car dealership. He planned to make a circle graph to show the different kinds of automobiles there were on the lot. The table below summarizes the data he collected.
Types of Autombiles
Coupes-40
Sedans-60
Suvs-21
Trucks-20
vans-9
What fraction of the circle should be used to represent the sedans that were on the lot?
A. 3/10 B. 8/25 C. 1/3 D. 2/5
I put 60/150 and simplified the fraction which is 2/5.
Is "D" the correct answer?
Yes. You're right.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Yes, your answer of 2/5 is correct and corresponds to option D.
To find the fraction of the circle that should represent sedans, you need to divide the number of sedans by the total number of automobiles. In this case, the total number of automobiles is found by adding up the numbers for coupes, sedans, SUVs, trucks, and vans.
Coupes: 40
Sedans: 60
SUVs: 21
Trucks: 20
Vans: 9
Total automobiles: 40 + 60 + 21 + 20 + 9 = 150
Now, you can find the fraction of sedans by dividing the number of sedans (60) by the total number of automobiles (150):
Fraction of sedans = Number of sedans / Total number of automobiles
= 60 / 150
= 2/5
So, the correct answer is D) 2/5.
