65°
To find the number of degrees in the sector representing the eighth graders, you need to calculate the percentage of eighth graders in attendance compared to the total number of students in attendance, and then convert that percentage to degrees.
Total number of students in attendance = 375 + 275 + 350 = 1000
Percentage of eighth graders = (350 / 1000) * 100 = 35%
To convert the percentage to degrees:
(35/100) * 360 = 126°
Therefore, there would be 126° in the sector representing the eighth graders.
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?
