Question

the table below classifies each of 30 moons by its diameter and the planet it orbits.
planet | diameter range (km) | number of moons
earth | 3,000–4,000 | 1
mars | 10–25 | 2
jupiter | 3,000–4,000 | 2
jupiter | 10–25 | 2
saturn | 1,000–2,000 | 4
saturn | 10–25 | 8
uranus | 1,000–2,000 | 4
uranus | 10–25 | 6
neptune | 2,000–3,000 | 1
what percentage of the moons represented in the table have a diameter in the 1,000–2,000 kilometer range?

Explanation:

Step1: Find total moons

Sum all "Number of moons": \(1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 30\) (matches given total).

Step2: Find moons in 1,000–2,000 km

Saturn (4) + Uranus (4) = \(4 + 4 = 8\).

Step3: Calculate percentage

Percentage = \(\frac{8}{30} \times 100\% \approx 26.67\%\) (or simplify as needed).

Answer:

\(\frac{4 + 4}{30} \times 100\% = \frac{8}{30} \times 100\% \approx 26.67\%\) (or \(\frac{4}{15} \times 100\% \approx 26.67\%\))
