6th grade Q4

When you look at a pie graph, you see a circle divided into slices. Each slice shows a part of the whole. To solve problems with a pie graph, follow these steps:

1. Understand the Whole: First, know what the whole pie represents. It could be a total number of students, hours, or any other topic.
2. Look at the Slices: Each slice has a label and a number or a percentage. This tells you what part of the whole it represents.
3. Calculate the Part: If you know the total number, you can find the number for each slice. For example, if the whole pie is 100 students and a slice is 25%, then that slice represents 25 students. You calculate it by multiplying: $\text{Total}\times \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}$.

Example: Imagine a pie graph showing favorite fruits of 100 students. The apple slice is 30%. To find how many students prefer apples, multiply 100 by 0.30. So, $100\times 0.30=30$. This means that 30 students has apples as their favorite fruit.

By following these steps, you can solve any problem involving a pie graph!
