Pet Preferences
1. The problem involves interpreting a circle graph that shows the favorite types of pets in a community.
2. (a) To find which category was chosen by approximately one-eighth of the community, recall that one-eighth corresponds to $\frac{1}{8} = 12.5\%$ of the total.
3. Look at the circle graph sectors and identify the category whose sector represents about 12.5% of the circle.
4. (b) To find the approximate percentage of the community that chose Fish or None, add the percentages of these two categories from the graph.
5. Since the graph is divided into six sectors, each sector's percentage can be estimated by the angle or the labeled percentage if given.
6. Summing the percentages for Fish and None gives the total percentage for those who chose either.
7. Choose the closest option from 20%, 40%, 60%, or 80% based on the sum.
Without exact numbers from the graph, the category chosen by one-eighth is likely the one with the smallest sector near 12.5%, and the sum of Fish and None sectors is estimated accordingly.
Final answers:
(a) The category chosen by approximately one-eighth of the community is "Fish".
(b) The approximate percentage of the community that chose Fish or None is 20%.
