In a pie chart, 45 degrees is used to represent 6 people. How many people are there altogether?

Asked by Najat

Answer (3)

A pie chart is a circle. A circle has 360 degrees. If 45 degrees is 6 people, then 360/45 = x/6. Cross multiply and get 45x = 2160. Divide by 45 and get x = 48 .
Simply, 360/45 is 8, so there's 8 sets of 6 people. 8 * 6 = 48.

45 degrees = 6 people.
For a pie chart, the total angle = 360 degrees.
Let the total people be = x.
Therefore (45/360) * x = 6. Simplifying (1/8) x = 6.
Therefore x/8 = 6.
Cross multiplying: x = 6*8 = 48
48 People.

In a pie chart, 45 degrees represents 6 people. Given that there are 8 sections of 45 degrees in 360 degrees, the total number of people represented is 48. Thus, the answer is 48 people altogether.
