Answer:

I believe it is 104 degrees.

Step by Step: First, You add all the medals for all the countries, giving you 69. Then, you make Australia's medals a fraction of 69, so 20/69. After this, since a circle has 360 degrees, you make x/360 and cross multiply. This takes you to 69x=7200. Now divide 7200 by 69, which gets you 104.347, or 104 degrees.

Answer:

104 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of medals: 31 + 20 + 6 +6 + 6 = 69

Number of Australian medals: 20

Fraction of total medals won by Australia: 20/69

A circle has a total of 360 deg.

Since Australia has 20/69 of the medals, it will have 20/69 of 360 degrees in the circle graph.

20/69 * 360 = 104.3

Answer: 104 deg
