Let's solve the problem step by step using the bar graph titled
"Fruit Survey".
Step 1: Understand the Bar Graph

- apples, bananas, pears, grapes, oranges, plums, peaches
The vertical axis (y-axis) shows the number of
votes, ranging from 0 to 9.
Each bar’s height corresponds to how many votes a fruit received.
