Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Boy's Soccer

Each circle is 1000 people. Boy's soccer has 1 full circle and a quarter - circle. A full circle is 1000, a quarter - circle is $\frac{1}{4}\times1000 = 250$. So total is $1000 + 250=1250$.

Step2: Analyze Girl's Soccer

Girl's soccer has 3 full circles. So total is $3\times1000 = 3000$.

Step3: Analyze Boy's Basketball

Boy's basketball has 3 full circles and a three - quarter circle. A three - quarter circle is $\frac{3}{4}\times1000 = 750$. So total is $3\times1000+750 = 3750$.

Step4: Analyze Girl's Basketball

Girl's basketball has 1 full circle and a quarter - circle. So total is $1000 + 250 = 1250$.

Answer:

• People attended boy’s soccer: 1250
• People attended girl’s soccer: 3000
• People attended boy’s basketball: 3750
• People attended girl’s basketball: 1250
