Q: A pie chart illustrates the percentage of time spent on various activities in a day. If 'Work' occupies 50% of the chart, which of the following statements is true?
Solution: If 'Work' occupies 50%, it indeed takes up more time than all other activities combined.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand that a pie chart represents parts of a whole, which is 100%.
Step 2: Recognize that if 'Work' takes up 50% of the pie chart, it means half of the total time is spent on work.
Step 3: Since the total is 100%, the remaining activities must share the other 50%.
Step 4: Conclude that 'Work' (50%) is equal to the combined time of all other activities (50%).
Step 5: Therefore, 'Work' does not take up more time than all other activities combined; it takes up exactly half.
