Pie charts are commonly used to visualize data in writing assignments. When describing the data from pie charts, it is important to vary the language used to refer to percentages to avoid repetition. Percentages can be expressed as fractions, ratios, or in relation to half using terms like minority, majority, or by stating if the percentage is more or less than half.

Pie charts are frequently used to summarize data for task 1 writing assignments.
When expressing the data, you need to
aim for as much variety in vocabulary and grammar as possible. One way of doing this is by changing the way you state the figures.
Percentage Fraction Ratio More or less than half
10% A tenth 1 in 10 A tiny minority 20% A fifth 1 in 5 A small minority 25% A fourth OR a quarter 1 in 4 33% A third 1 in 3 A large minority 40% Two-fifths 2 in 5 50% A half 1 in 2 66% Two-thirds 2 in 3 A large majority 75% Three-fourths 3 in 4 A vast majority 90% nine-tenths 9 in 10 An overwhelming majority * If you use minority/majority you still need to include the figures in your report.
