Question

Study the given graph carefully and answer the following questions. What fraction of the total number of children plays football?

• A. $\frac{13}{64}$
• B. $\frac{3}{16}$
• C. $\frac{5}{32}$
• D. $\frac{11}{64}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{3}{16}$

Scale on y-axis: 1 units length = 10 children
From the graph,
Total number of children play the game
= 140 + 120 + 110 + 100 + 90 + 80
= 640
The number of children who plays football
= 120
Required fraction $=\frac{120}{640}=\frac{3}{16}$

Thus, $\frac{3}{16}$ of total number of children plays football.
