Step by step

The question

Question: a circle graph of 80 kids has a 144° slice for soccer: how many soccer?

Here is the slice.

144° of the 360° circle.

1 Angle over 360

The slice is 144 out of 360 degrees.

144 and 360 can both be divided by 72: 2/5.

Careful!

Degrees are out of 360, not out of 100.

2 Of the total

2/5 of all 80 kids.

80 divided by 5 is 16.

Times 2: 32 kids.

3 Check

Let's check: 32 out of 80 is 2/5.

2/5 of 360 is 144°, the slice.

So the answer is right!

Let's look back.

First: angle over 360.

Then: of the total.

Last: check.
