Describe the pie chart by making comparisons between the data points in the chart. The pie chart will only contain around 4 or 5 data points, and so it is best to mention them all.Body 2.Describe the main points of the first country in the table (or, if it is a bar chart, just three items) by making comparisons between the data.Body 3.Describe the main points of the second country in the table (or bar chart) by making comparisons between the data.From the pie chart, answer the

In general, the most popular subject at Zayed was Arabic while at the UAEU it was physics.Looking at the pie chart we can see that the most common subject, which was Arabic, was 33 percent. However, the least common, which was biology, was 10 percent. The second most common was English at one quarter. Finally, together, math and physics accounted for just under one third, and they were both 17 percent and 15 percent respectively.In contrast to Zayed University, the maximum percentage at the UAEU, which was exactly twice as much as at Zayed, was physics at 30 percent. The lowest was biology at 9 percent. On the other hand, the most popular subject at Sharjah University, which was Arabic, was 32 percent, and this was similar to Zayed. Furthermore, exactly twice as many students chose biology compared to Zayed. Finally, the minimum percentage, which was 5 percent, was for physics. ................
