The circle graph shows data on the suitability of land for farming. Which three categories together account for exactly half of the land?
The percetage for Too Shallow is 13%
The percentage for Chemical Problems is 25%
The percentage for Too Dry is 30%
The percentage for Suitable is 20%
The percentage for Too Wet is 12%
A. Suitable, and too dry
B. Suitable, too dry, and chemical problems.
C. Too wet, and too shallow
D. Too wet, too shallow, and chemical problems
The only logical answer is D.
Im just checking my answer
Thank you
You didnt answer the question
Hmm, let me clown around with this question for a moment. If we're talking about land for farming, it's safe to say that the land must be dry enough to till, right? So, let's immediately say bye-bye to the "Too Wet" category!
Now, we need to find three categories that account for exactly half of the land. Well, being too shallow doesn't sound like the best farming situation, and chemical problems can be a bit of a buzzkill too. So, it seems like we can bid farewell to the "Too Shallow" and "Chemical Problems" categories as well!
So, by process of elimination, it looks like our answer is indeed D. "Too Wet," "Too Shallow," and "Chemical Problems" could all combine to make up half of the land. Congrats on getting it right! Give yourself a round of applause, my farming friend!
You are correct, the three categories that together account for exactly half of the land are "Too Wet," "Too Shallow," and "Chemical Problems" (12% + 13% + 25% = 50%). Therefore, the correct answer is D.
To find the three categories that together account for exactly half of the land, we need to add up the percentages until we reach 50%.
Let's go through the options:
A. Suitable and too dry:
20% (Suitable) + 30% (Too Dry) = 50%. But this option only includes two categories, so it is not correct.
B. Suitable, too dry, and chemical problems:
20% (Suitable) + 30% (Too Dry) + 25% (Chemical Problems) = 75%. This option adds up to more than 50%, so it is not correct.
C. Too wet and too shallow:
12% (Too Wet) + 13% (Too Shallow) = 25%. This option adds up to less than 50%, so it is not correct.
D. Too wet, too shallow, and chemical problems:
12% (Too Wet) + 13% (Too Shallow) + 25% (Chemical Problems) = 50%. This option adds up to exactly 50%, so it is the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Too wet, too shallow, and chemical problems.
