Question

diagrams and graphs problem 3
recall that the size of the pie \slice\ in a pie chart depends on the percentage of the subject that each piece represents.
draw a line between the labels shown below and the correct sections of the pie chart at right.
labels
50%
42%
8%
sections of the pie
how water is used
cities
industry
irrigation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the percentages and the pie chart sections:

• A 50% slice would be half the pie (since \(50\%=\frac{1}{2}\)). Looking at the pie chart, "Irrigation" seems to occupy half (the vertical line splits it into two, and one part is labeled Irrigation which looks like 50%).
• 42% is a large portion but less than 50%. The "Industry" section in the pie chart (the larger of the two remaining) should correspond to 42% as it's a significant portion but not half.
• 8% is the smallest percentage. The "Cities" section (the smallest slice) corresponds to 8%.

So we match: 50% - Irrigation, 42% - Industry, 8% - Cities.

Answer:

• \(50\%\) connects to Irrigation.
• \(42\%\) connects to Industry.
• \(8\%\) connects to Cities.
