Question

Carter asks 40 of his friends what their favorite type of music is. He records the data in a circle graph to display the results. Carter compares the data for each person he interviewed. Which two types of music account for three-fifths of the people interviewed?


A) Alternative & Jazz
B) Rock & Hip Hop
C) Rock & Alternative
D) Rock & Jazz
E) Alternative & Hip Hop

(This is the hint my teacher gave me, but I still don't understand :/ "So you need to figure out what is three-fifths of 100. If you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 20 (because 20 x 5 = 100) you can find that percentage of people.
3 60
__ = ___
5 100
So which two types of music add to be 60% of the entire circle?")

Answer 1

Answer:

E) Alternative & Hip Hop

Step-by-step explanation:

A subgenre of hip hop music that encompasses a wide range of styles that are not typically identified as mainstream. AllMusic defines it as follows: "Alternative rap refers to hip hop groups that refuse to conform to any of the traditional stereotypes of rap, such as gangsta, bass, hardcore, pop, and party rap. Instead, they blur genres drawing equally from funk and pop/rock, as well as jazz, soul, reggae, and even folk."[2]
