Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a table showing how many hot dogs were sold each day:
- Monday: 84
- Tuesday: 60
- Wednesday: 12
- Thursday: 72
- Friday: 36
- Saturday: 48
- Sunday: 24
But look at the graph — the Y-axis is labeled
“Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold”, not individual hot dogs.
That means we need to convert each number into
dozens.
Remember:
→ 1 dozen = 12 items
→ So, to find dozens, divide the number of hot dogs by 12.
Let’s do that for each day:
Monday: 84 ÷ 12 =
7 dozens
Tuesday: 60 ÷ 12 =
5 dozens
Wednesday: 12 ÷ 12 =
1 dozen
Thursday: 72 ÷ 12 =
6 dozens
Friday: 36 ÷ 12 =
3 dozens
Saturday: 48 ÷ 12 =
4 dozens
Sunday: 24 ÷ 12 =
2 dozens
Now, on the bar graph, you will draw bars for each day going up to these numbers on the Y-axis (which already shows 0 to 9).
So your bars should be:
- Monday → height 7
- Tuesday → height 5
- Wednesday → height 1
- Thursday → height 6
- Friday → height 3
- Saturday → height 4
- Sunday → height 2
Make sure each bar starts at 0 and goes up to the correct number. Label them clearly under each day on the X-axis.
You’re done when all bars match those heights!
Final Answer:
Draw bars with heights: Monday=7, Tuesday=5, Wednesday=1, Thursday=6, Friday=3, Saturday=4, Sunday=2 (in dozens).
