Final Answer:
The bar graph should show bars for each day with heights matching the number of dozens of hot dogs sold: Monday = 8.4, Tuesday = 6.0, Wednesday = 1.2, Thursday = 7.2, Friday = 3.6, Saturday = 4.8, Sunday = 2.4.

Explanation:
- The table shows how many hot dogs were sold each day. But the graph’s y-axis is labeled “Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold,” so we need to turn the numbers into dozens.
- To do that, divide each number by 12 (because 1 dozen = 12).
- Monday: 84 ÷ 12 = 7 → Wait! 84 ÷ 12 = 7? Actually, 84 ÷ 12 = 7 — but look at the graph’s scale. It goes up to 9, and each line is 1 dozen. So 84 hot dogs = 7 dozens? Let’s double-check: 12 × 7 = 84 — yes! So Monday = 7.
- But wait — the graph’s y-axis only goes up to 9, and 84 ÷ 12 = 7 — that fits. Let’s fix all:
- Monday: 84 ÷ 12 = 7
- Tuesday: 60 ÷ 12 = 5
- Wednesday: 12 ÷ 12 = 1
- Thursday: 72 ÷ 12 = 6
- Friday: 36 ÷ 12 = 3
- Saturday: 48 ÷ 12 = 4
- Sunday: 24 ÷ 12 = 2
- So on the graph, draw a bar for Monday up to 7, Tuesday to 5, Wednesday to 1, Thursday to 6, Friday to 3, Saturday to 4, and Sunday to 2.
- Make sure each bar is above the right day and matches the height on the y-axis.
Wait — I made a mistake earlier. Let me recalculate carefully:
84 ÷ 12 = 7 → correct
60 ÷ 12 = 5 → correct
12 ÷ 12 = 1 → correct
72 ÷ 12 = 6 → correct
36 ÷ 12 = 3 → correct
48 ÷ 12 = 4 → correct
24 ÷ 12 = 2 → correct
So the correct heights in dozens are:
Monday: 7
Tuesday: 5
Wednesday: 1
Thursday: 6
Friday: 3
Saturday: 4
Sunday: 2
Draw the bars to these heights on the graph.
