355/113 is a better approximation.
In fact, if you assume the earth is exactly 6371 Km in radius (says Google... and a perfect sphere) using 355/113 would put your measurement of the earth off by only 3.4 METERS from the true value.
355/113 is the best simple approximation for everyday use.
the suns total volume would be off by 10% of an earth volume
A fraction of 360 degrees
Divide the central angle of the relevant pie segment by 360.
The concept is this one. A pie is a whole, 100%. One half of a pie is 50%. Any fraction of the pie is a percentage of the 100% pie. Thus 1/5th of a pie is 20%. Use your percentages like the wedges of the pie.
No matter what fraction one gives, there is one closer. There is no answer to this question.
It is called a pie chart because it is circular... like a pie. They are used for math, statistics, and algebra. The pie represents it being a whole.
By which fraction is closest to "60," I assume you mean which fraction is closest to 60 %. The answer would be 3/5ths.
The fraction is 355/113

Pie charts make nice fraction diagrams. Each fraction that you subtract is equivalent to taking out a slice of pie.
A fraction is a part of something. For example: a round, flat pie on a plate is 100% of the whole pie. If the pie is cut into ten slices, each slice is a tenth or 1/10 (one over ten) as a fraction of the whole pie. Therefore, 5 slices is 5/10 (five over ten) which is also half of the whole pie.
The closest is 376401/1000000.
If a circle fraction can, a pie can yes

787/10000. Not only is it closest, it is exactly the same.
