Solution

To find the angle that represents the number of pigs on a pie chart, you need to follow these steps:

  1. First, find the total number of animals on the ranch. Add the number of goats, sheep, cows, and pigs together.

    Total animals = Goats + Sheep + Cows + Pigs Total animals = 19 + 12 + 8 + 13 = 52 animals

  2. A pie chart represents a whole or 100%, and in terms of degrees, it is 360 degrees.

  3. To find the angle that represents the pigs, you need to find what percentage of the total number of animals the pigs represent and then convert that percentage to degrees.

    The formula to find the percentage is: (Number of pigs / Total number of animals) * 100

    So, the percentage of pigs = (13 / 52) * 100 = 25%

  4. Now, convert this percentage to degrees. The formula to convert percentage to degrees is: (Percentage / 100) * 360

    So, the angle for pigs = (25 / 100) * 360 = 90 degrees

Therefore, the number of pigs would be represented by an angle of 90 degrees on the pie chart.
