To find the number of students who chose social studies and science as their favorite subjects, we first need to determine the proportions of the circle graph that represent these subjects.
Looking at the circle graph, we can see that the "Social Studies" section covers 20% of the circle, and the "Science" section covers 40% of the circle.
Since we have a total of 250 students surveyed, we can find the number of students who chose social studies by multiplying 20% by 250:
0.20 * 250 = 50 students
Similarly, we can find the number of students who chose science by multiplying 40% by 250:
0.40 * 250 = 100 students
Adding the number of students who chose social studies and science together:
50 (social studies) + 100 (science) = 150 students
Therefore, 150 students chose social studies and science as their favorite subjects out of the 250 students surveyed.
Answer: 150 students chose social studies and science as their favorite subjects.
Use reasoning with proportions to interpret the data in the circle graph. Ninth graders surveyed on their favorite subject .
