D. 30°
D. 30°
To find the measure of the central angle you would draw to represent apple juice in a circle graph, we need to use the information given in the table.
According to the table, apple juice was chosen by 40% of the sixth grade students.
To find the measure of the central angle, we can use the formula:
Central Angle = Percentage × 360°
So, for apple juice:
Central Angle = 40% × 360°
Central Angle = 0.40 × 360°
Central Angle = 144°
Therefore, the measure of the central angle you would draw to represent apple juice in a circle graph is 144°.
The correct answer is C. 144°.
