The image is a color pie chart divided into 5 portions, and is titled Pets Owned by Sixth Graders. <br/>Starting from the 12 o'clock position at the top and going clockwise toward the right is dark blue portion labeled Dogs, 45 percent. Next portion
If 30 sixth graders own birds, how many sixth graders were surveyed?
you don't say what % own birds.
Let's say it's 20%
If so, then if x were surveyed,
0.20x = 30
x = 30/0.20 = 150
So, put in your own % and follow these steps
please help!!! I'm ATROCIOUS at math!!! i need this answer by the end of the day!!! pls helppppp
So, what I've gotten out of this is:
30 x 2 = 60
60 x 10 = 600.
oobleck, can you check these answers please? Or any teacher?
Thank you so much oobleck!!! ur truly a lifesaver!!!
oh, uh 5% are birds.
10% are birds
To find out how many sixth graders were surveyed based on the given information in the pie chart, we need to determine the percentage of sixth graders who own birds.
According to the problem, the pie chart does not directly specify the percentage or portion of sixth graders who own birds. Therefore, we cannot directly answer the question based on the information provided.
However, if we assume that the pie chart includes all possible pet options for sixth graders, we can subtract the percentages of the other pet categories from 100% to find out the percentage of sixth graders who own birds.
Let's calculate this:
1. Start by finding the total percentage of pets owned by sixth graders that are mentioned in the pie chart.
We know that the dark blue portion labeled "Dogs" covers 45% of the chart.
2. Subtract the percentage of dogs from 100% to find the combined percentage of the remaining pet categories.
100% - 45% = 55%
3. Since there is no specific information about other pet categories mentioned in the chart, we cannot determine precisely how this 55% is distributed among those categories.
4. Assuming that "birds" is one of the pet categories, we can estimate the percentage of sixth graders owning birds based on the available information.
Let's say the percentage of sixth graders who own birds is x%.
5. Add the percentage of birds (x%) to the remaining percentage (55%) to get 100%.
x% + 55% = 100%
6. Solve the above equation for x:
x% = 100% - 55%
x% = 45%
From the above calculation, we find that the percentage of sixth graders who own birds is 45%. However, this does not directly give us the number of sixth graders surveyed to obtain this percentage.
Therefore, with the given information, we cannot determine how many sixth graders were surveyed.
