1. Problem Description

700 people were asked about their favorite activity. We are given a pie chart displaying the results. We need to find the number of people who said snorkelling was their favorite activity.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to determine the fraction of the pie chart that represents snorkelling. Looking at the pie chart, the snorkelling section seems to be approximately 1/8 of the whole pie.
Now, we need to find 1/8 of
7
0

0. We can calculate this as:

18×700=7008\frac{1}{8} \times 700 = \frac{700}{8}
Divide 700 by 8:
700÷8=87.5700 \div 8 = 87.5
Since we're dealing with people, we can round this number to the nearest whole number, which is
8
8.

3. Final Answer

88
