Question

The given pie chart shows the types of movies preferred by different people of a society. What fraction of the society prefers sci-fi and action movies?

• A. $\frac{1}{5}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{2}$

Total number of people
$=25+15+35+45=120$
Number of people who prefer action movies $=35$
Number of people who prefer sci-fi movies $=25$
Therefore, number of people who prefer watching sci-fi and action movies
$=25+35=60$
Fraction of people who prefer sci-fi and action movies $=\frac{60}{120}=\frac{2\times 2\times 3\times 5}{2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 5}=\frac{1}{2}$
