"Evening Hours"
A. 10 B. 15 C. 41 to 60 minutes D. 20%
E. 30/100  =  3/10 F. 0-20 = 10, 21-40 = 20,      41-60 = 30, so:
10+20+30 = 60
G. 61-80 = 25, 
81+ = 15, so:
25+15=40,  40/100= 40%
H. 61-80=25, and 0-20=10, so:  25-10= 15 students.

Pie Graph Exercise - "Sources of Air Pollution"
 
1. Transportation (42%) 2. Solid waste disposal (5%) 3. Transportation = 42%, 1,000 grams x 0.42 
= 420 grams
 420 grams x 3 (seconds) 
= 1260 grams
4. Solid waste disposal = 5%, 1,000 grams x .05 = 50 grams 50 grams x 5 (seconds) 
= 250 grams
5. 300 grams of air pollution, Transportation = 42%,
300 x 0.42 = 126 grams
6. 300 grams of air pollution, Forest fires = 8%,
300 x 0.08 = 24 grams
7. 300 grams of air pollution, Industrial processes = 14%, 300 x 0.14 = 42 grams 8. Miscellaneous.

Picture Graph Exercise - "Estimated Population of New York State"
1. 1990 = 18,000,000
2. 1790 = 250,000
3. 1930 = 12,500,000;  1910 = 9,125,000;
 12,500,000 - 9,125,000 = 3,375,000 people
4. 1970 = 18,250,000; 1990 = 18,000,000; 18,250,000 - 18,000,000 = 250,000
5. Largest = 1970 = 18,250,000; Smallest = 1790 = 250,000; 18,250,000 - 250,000 = 18,000,000
