Question

a class of eighth graders undertook an ambitious project to compile the most dominant color of uniforms for all 307 middle school sports teams in their state this year. the circle graph shows the results. approximately how many teams are represented in each sector?

dominant uniform color
black 12%
white 16%
navy blue 17%
gray 22%
maroon 26%
other 7%

there are approximately \\(\square\\) teams represented by the sector labeled black, approximately \\(\square\\) teams represented by the sector labeled white, approximately \\(\square\\) teams represented by the sector labeled navy blue, approximately \\(\square\\) teams represented by the sector labeled gray, approximately \\(\square\\) teams represented by the sector labeled maroon, and approximately \\(\square\\) teams represented by the sector labeled other.

(simplify your answers. round to the nearest whole number.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate for black (12%)

To find the number of teams for a sector, multiply the total number of teams (307) by the percentage of the sector. For black: \( 307 \times 0.12 \).
\( 307 \times 0.12 = 36.84 \approx 37 \)

Step2: Calculate for white (16%)

For white: \( 307 \times 0.16 \).
\( 307 \times 0.16 = 49.12 \approx 49 \)

Step3: Calculate for navy blue (17%)

For navy blue: \( 307 \times 0.17 \).
\( 307 \times 0.17 = 52.19 \approx 52 \)

Step4: Calculate for gray (22%)

For gray: \( 307 \times 0.22 \).
\( 307 \times 0.22 = 67.54 \approx 68 \)

Step5: Calculate for maroon (26%)

For maroon: \( 307 \times 0.26 \).
\( 307 \times 0.26 = 79.82 \approx 80 \)

Step6: Calculate for other (7%)

For other: \( 307 \times 0.07 \).
\( 307 \times 0.07 = 21.49 \approx 21 \)

Answer:

Black: 37, White: 49, Navy Blue: 52, Gray: 68, Maroon: 80, Other: 21 (Fill these values in the respective boxes as per the question's blanks)
