Solution

The central angle of a circle is 360 degrees. If 65% of students chose carrots as their favorite vegetable, then the central angle for the "Carrots" section can be calculated as follows:

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, 65% becomes 0.65.

Step 2: Multiply the decimal by 360 (the total degrees in a circle).

0.65 * 360 = 234

So, the measure of the central angle in the "Carrots" section is 234 degrees.
