To find out how many students chose social studies and science as their favorite subjects, we need to look at the proportions represented in the circle graph.
From the circle graph, we can see that social studies is represented by 25% of the circle and science is represented by 20% of the circle.
To find out how many students chose social studies, we multiply the total number of students surveyed (250) by the proportion represented by social studies (25%):
250 x 0.25 = 62.5
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we can conclude that approximately 63 students chose social studies as their favorite subject.
To find out how many students chose science, we follow the same process:
250 x 0.20 = 50
Therefore, approximately 50 students chose science as their favorite subject.
In conclusion, a total of 63 + 50 = 113 students chose social studies and science as their favorite subjects.
Use reasoning with proportions to interpret the data in the circle graph. Ninth graders were surveyed on their favorite subject. The results are shown in the circle graph. If 250 students were surveyed, how many of them chose social studies and science as their favorite subjects? (1 point)
