### Instruction: Of the 36 students in Richelle's class, 12 prefer chocolate pie, 8 prefer apple, and 6 prefer blueberry.  Half of the remaining students prefer cherry pie and half prefer lemon.  For Richelle's pie graph showing this data, how many degrees should she use for cherry pie?### Response: I know that a pie graph is a circle, and a circle has 360 degrees.
So I want to find out what fraction of the class prefers cherry pie, and then multiply that by 360 to get the angle.
I already know the preferences of 12 + 8 + 6 = 26 students, so the remaining students are 36 - 26 = 10.
Half of them prefer cherry pie, so that's 10 / 2 = 5.
That means 5 out of 36 students prefer cherry pie, or 5/36 as a fraction.
To find the angle, I multiply 5/36 by 360, and I get 50.
