Explanation Given Information: Cargo traffic between the United States cities are 975 by rail, 866 by road, 8.7 by air, 435 by inland water and 587 by pipeline. Graph: Consider the provided data: rail, 975 ; road, 866 ; air, 8.7 ; inland water, 435 ; pipeline, 587 . Compute the total number of cargo traffic between the United States cities as follows, Total number of cargoes = 975 + 866 + 8.7 + 435 + 587 = 2871.7 Compute the percent of the various cargo traffic of the total for each pattern as follows, Compute the percent of the rail cargo traffic of the total as follows, 975 ÷ 2871.7 = 0.3395 × 100 % = 33.95 % Compute the percent of the road cargo traffic of the total as follows, 866 ÷ 2871.7 = 0.3016 × 100 % = 30.16 % Compute the percent of the air cargo traffic of the total as follows, 8.7 ÷ 2871.7 = 0.003030 × 100 % = 0.3030 % Compute the percent of the inland water cargo traffic of the total as follows, 435 ÷ 2871.7 = 0.1515 × 100 % = 15.15 % Compute the percent of the pipeline cargo traffic of the total as follows, 587 ÷ 2871.7 = 0.2044 × 100 % = 20.44 % Now compute the central angle of the circle that represents each pattern as follows, Compute the central angle of the circle for the rail cargo traffic as follows, 33.95 % of 360 ° = 0.3395 × 360 ° = 122.22 ° ≈ 122 ° Compute the central angle of the circle for the road cargo traffic as follows, 30
