Question

a class of eighth graders undertook an ambitious project to compile the most dominant color of uniforms for all 337 middle school sports teams in their state this year. the circle graph shows the results. approximately how many teams are represented in each sector?
(simplify your answers. round to the nearest whole number.)
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.
dominant uniform color
black 12%
white 16%
navy blue 17%
gray 22%
maroon 25%
other 8%

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate for black (12%)

To find the number of teams for black, multiply total teams (337) by 12% (or 0.12).
$337 \times 0.12 = 40.44 \approx 40$

Step2: Calculate for white (16%)

Multiply 337 by 16% (0.16).
$337 \times 0.16 = 53.92 \approx 54$

Step3: Calculate for navy blue (17%)

Multiply 337 by 17% (0.17).
$337 \times 0.17 = 57.29 \approx 57$

Step4: Calculate for gray (22%)

Multiply 337 by 22% (0.22).
$337 \times 0.22 = 74.14 \approx 74$

Step5: Calculate for maroon (25%)

Multiply 337 by 25% (0.25).
$337 \times 0.25 = 84.25 \approx 84$

Step6: Calculate for other (8%)

Multiply 337 by 8% (0.08).
$337 \times 0.08 = 26.96 \approx 27$

Answer:

Black: 40, White: 54, Navy Blue: 57, Gray: 74, Maroon: 84, Other: 27 (fill in respective boxes as per the problem's order)
