Question

Hello? Can someone help me with this please?The coffee preferences of 100 people were recorded in a survey.What proportion of the circle (in degrees) is represented by the espresso segment?

Answer 1

Recall that a whole circle is equal to 360°.

Espresso accounts for 5 out of 100 people surveyed.

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} 360\degree\times\frac{5}{100} \\ =360\degree\times0.05 \\ =18\degree \end{gathered}$

The proportion of the circle that is represented by the espresso segment is 18°.
