Ratio of the number of network and agriculture related satellites launched by Romania is 7 тИ╢ 8. Find the number of agriculture related satellites launched by Romania. (Consider only the network and agriculture related satellites launched by Romania)
670
660
650
640
None of the above
640
Since the ratio of network to agriculture satellites is 7:8, the number of agriculture satellites must be a multiple of 8. Checking the options, 640 is the only option divisible by 8.
Total satellites launched by Romania is 1200 (10% of 12000 from the pie chart). The ratio of network to agriculture satellites is 7:8.

Since the ratio of network to agriculture satellites is 7:8, the number of agriculture satellites must be a multiple of 8. Checking the options, 640 is the only option divisible by 8.
Confusing the total number of satellites (12000) with the number of satellites for one specific country (1200).
Calculate total satellites for Romania
From the pie chart, Romania accounts for 10% of the total 12000 satellites.

Calculate ratio segments
Given the ratio of network to agriculture satellites is 7:8, the sum of parts is 7+8=15.
Sum┬аof┬аparts=15
Find the number of agriculture satellites
The value of one part is 1200/15=80. Since agriculture satellites represent 8 parts, we multiply 8 by 80.
Agriculture┬аSatellites=8├Ч(151200тАЛ)=8├Ч80=640
D is correct because 640 is the calculated number of agriculture related satellites for Romania based on the 7:8 ratio.
Data interpretation questions involving ratios often require isolating a specific subset of data first before applying the ratio partition.
