Let me work through this problem step by step.
First, I need to read the data from the bar graph and table:
From the table:
- Sally: 6 bugs
- Frazer: 14 bugs
- Newton: 7 bugs
- Tyger: 16 bugs
From the bar graph (reading the values):
- Quadra: The orange bar goes to 12
- Sally: The teal bar goes to 6 (matches table)
- Frazer: The purple bar goes to 14 (matches table)
- Newton: The green bar goes to 7 (matches table)
- Tyger: The red bar goes to 16 (matches table)
- Captain: The blue bar goes to 15
Now let me solve each question:
Question 1: Fill in missing data for Quadra and Captain
- Quadra: 12 bugs (from bar graph)
- Captain: 15 bugs (from bar graph)
Question 2: Draw a bar for Newton - Newton ate 7 bugs, so draw a bar that reaches 7 on the scale.
Question 3: Which salamander ate the most bugs?
Looking at all the numbers: Quadra=12, Sally=6, Frazer=14, Newton=7, Tyger=16, Captain=15
The highest is 16, which is Tyger.
Question 4: How many more bugs did Quadra eat than Sally?
Quadra: 12, Sally: 6
12 - 6 = 6
Question 5: How many more bugs did Tyger eat than Newton?
Tyger: 16, Newton: 7
16 - 7 = 9
Question 6: Captain ate more bugs than Sally and Quadra put together. True or false?
Sally + Quadra = 6 + 12 = 18
Captain = 15
Is 15 > 18? No, 15 < 18
So this is FALSE.
Question 7: Which 2 salamanders ate exactly 20 bugs altogether?
Let me check combinations:
- Sally (6) + Newton (7) = 13
- Sally (6) + Quadra (12) = 18
- Sally (6) + Frazer (14) = 20 ✓
- Newton (7) + Quadra (12) = 19
- Newton (7) + Frazer (14) = 21
- Quadra (12) + Frazer (14) = 26
Sally and Frazer: 6 + 14 = 20
Final Answer:
1) Quadra: 12, Captain: 15
2) Draw a bar reaching 7 for Newton
3) Tyger
4) 6
5) 9
6) False
7) Sally and Frazer
