Solution
Solution 1
One complete rotation equals 360°. Since 90° is 360°90°=41 of one complete rotation, then 41 of all students chose juice. Therefore, the remaining 1−41=43 of all students chose milk. Since 43 is 3×41, then 3×80=240 students chose milk. Solution 2 As in Solution 1, 41 of all students chose juice. Since the 80 students who chose juice represent 41 of the total number of students, then the total number of students is 4×80=320. Therefore, 320−80=240 students chose milk.
