In preparing rice cutlets, a cook used 75g of rice, 40g of margarine, 105g of meat and 20g of bread crumbs. Find the angle of the sector which represents meat in pie chart
Answer Details
To find the angle of the sector which represents meat in the pie chart, we first need to find the total weight of the ingredients used:
Total weight = 75g + 40g + 105g + 20g = 240g
Now, we can find the percentage of meat used:
Percentage of meat = (Weight of meat / Total weight) x 100%
= (105g / 240g) x 100%
= 43.75%
To find the angle of the sector in the pie chart, we use the formula:
Angle of sector = Percentage of sector / 100% x 360 degrees
Substituting the percentage of meat, we get:
Angle of sector = 43.75 / 100 x 360 degrees
= 157.5 degrees
Therefore, the answer is 157.5 degrees.
