Question

lesson 11
the circle graph below shows how many volunteers from each of 6 states helped in the relief cleanup after the hurricane along the gulf coast.
find the percent each sector of the circle graph represents. write remainders as fractions of percents. use the fraction equivalents of 0.3 and 0.6.
representation of states

1. the total number of volunteers was ______.
2. volunteers from indiana represented

(\frac{33}{3}) % of the total.

1. volunteers from ohio represented

(\frac{18}{3}) % of the total.

1. volunteers from michigan represented

(\frac{16}{}) % of the total.

1. volunteers from kentucky represented

(\frac{16}{3}) % of the total.

1. volunteers from virginia represented

______ % of the total.

1. volunteers from texas represented

(\frac{83}{3}) % of the total.
(the circle graph has: indiana 20 volunteers, ohio 11 volunteers, michigan 6 volunteers, kentucky 10 volunteers, virginia 8 volunteers, texas 5 volunteers)

Explanation:

Step1: Confirm total volunteers

Total = $20 + 11 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 5 = 60$

Step2: Calculate Indiana's percentage

Percent = $\frac{20}{60} \times 100 = 33\frac{1}{3}\%$

Step3: Calculate Ohio's percentage

Percent = $\frac{11}{60} \times 100 = 18\frac{1}{3}\%$

Step4: Calculate Michigan's percentage

Percent = $\frac{6}{60} \times 100 = 10\%$

Step5: Calculate Kentucky's percentage

Percent = $\frac{10}{60} \times 100 = 16\frac{2}{3}\%$

Step6: Calculate Virginia's percentage

Percent = $\frac{8}{60} \times 100 = 13\frac{1}{3}\%$

Step7: Calculate Texas's percentage

Percent = $\frac{5}{60} \times 100 = 8\frac{1}{3}\%$

Answer:

1. 60
2. $33\frac{1}{3}$
3. $18\frac{1}{3}$
4. $10$
5. $16\frac{2}{3}$
6. $13\frac{1}{3}$
7. $8\frac{1}{3}$
