Answer:

14 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Half the children like pets and a quarter of the children do not, so another quarter does not have preference. Let x = total number of children, and we would have this equation.

0.25x = 7

x = 28

Since we are asked to give the number of children who like pets, 28/2 = 14 is the answer.

Step 1.

Calculate measure of angle α:

$47^o-38^o=9^o$

Step 2.

Calculate what fraction of the angle 360° is the angle α:

$\dfrac{9^o}{360^o}=\dfrac{1}{40}$

Step 3.

Calculate the circumference of the Earth (circle):

$C=2\pi r\to C=2\pi\cdot4000=8000\pi\ mi$

Step 4.

The length of arc is equal 1/40 of the circumference:

$\dfrac{1}{40}C=\dfrac{1}{40}\cdot8000\pi=200\pi\ mi$

$\pi\approx3.14\to\dfrac{1}{40}C\approx200\cdot3.14=628\ mi$
