The circle graph represents the number of teenagers at a high school who play video games. If 1,768 students go to the school, about how many students play video games? Students Who Play Video Games 258 Students Who Don't Play Video Games 496 students 101 students 0 1394 students 0 1.271 students

Answer 1

a complete circle consists of 360 °

if 1,768 is the total or is equivalent to 360° how many students does 259 ° equal?

we can use cross multiplication

$\begin{gathered} 1,768\longrightarrow360 \\ x\longrightarrow259 \end{gathered}$

where x is thw students who play video games

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{259\times1768}{360} \\ \\ x=1271.9 \end{gathered}$

so 1,271 students play video games
