$\frac{12}{48}=\frac14$, and $\frac14$ of $360^\circ$ is $90^\circ$. If either answer differs, revisit equivalent fractions and fractions of amounts before continuing.

The categories are separate, so you need a chart with one bar for each fruit.

Name the chart that uses separate bars with gaps between them.

A bar chart. Each fruit gets its own bar, and the gaps show the categories are separate.

A full pie chart is $360^\circ$, so find the fraction of the whole first.

$\frac{12}{48}=\frac14$, so find $\frac14\times360^\circ$.

$\frac{12}{48}\times360^\circ=\frac14\times360^\circ=90^\circ$.

Each whole symbol stands for the same number of votes.

Multiply the number of symbols by the value of one symbol: $3\times4$.

$3\times4=12$ votes.
