Answers will vary.

Work Step by Step

Let's pretend that we have 30 students in the class. First, you need to survey the class and obtain data. After that, you need to set up proportions to find out how many degrees each part of the circle is. Let's say that there are 6 car riders. $\frac{6}{30} = \frac{x}{360^o}$ $x = 72^o$ The car riders' part of the circle will be $72$ degrees. Do this with all other methods of transportation. Next, you must draw your circle. Make each part the appropriate size and label each part.
