500 people were asked to name their favorite color. The results of this survey are green 15%, blue 16%, purple 12%, pink 9%, black 9%, white 5%, grey 3%, yellow 5%, orange 4%, red 13%, and other 9%
Which sector makes an angle closest to 40 degrees? (Your answer should be a color word.)
+2864 By sector, they mean part of a circle. Like taking a slice of pizza out of an entire circle pizza
A circle is 360 degrees... and the sector is 40 degrees.
what is 40 out of 360?
1/9, is 0.1111111111111111111111111... repeating
So about 11 percent
So I would say PURPLE is the closest

+1713 I know there is already an answer-I'm just going to do it my way... You don't have to listen, skip if you wish, but I'm still going to post:
Using my way, let us find how many degrees one percent is.
100%:360degrees
1%:360/100
1%:3.6
purple: 12*3.6
43.2...
PURPLE WINS!
+2864 yes that is a completely different way of thinking for this problem, its good to consider that solution!
