Theo made the table below to show the number of middle school students who attended the last football game. If the data were displayed in a circle graph, how many degrees would be in the sector representing the eighth graders?

To determine the number of degrees in the sector representing the eighth graders, first find the total number of students who attended the football game:

375 + 275 + 350 = 1000

Next, calculate the percentage of eighth graders in the total number of students:

350 / 1000 = 0.35

Multiply the decimal by 360 to find the number of degrees in the sector representing the eighth graders:

0.35 * 360 = 126°

The sector representing the eighth graders would be 126 degrees.
