Let's solve the problem step by step using the information provided in the bar graph.
Bar Graph Analysis
The bar graph shows the average rainfall (in inches) in Queenstown from January through June. Here are the key observations:
- The x-axis represents the months: January, February, March, April, May, and June.
- The y-axis represents the "Inches of rainfall."
- Each bar corresponds to a month and its height indicates the average rainfall for that month.
Questions and Solutions
####
1. What is the title of the graph?
The title of the graph is explicitly mentioned at the top of the image:
Title: Bar Graph
####
2. What is measured on the y-axis?
The y-axis is labeled as:
Measurement on y-axis: Inches of rainfall
####
3. What is the scale on the y-axis?
The y-axis has a numerical scale that increases in increments of 10, starting from 0 up to 80.
Scale on y-axis: 0 to 80 (in increments of 10)
####
4. Which month had the most rainfall?
By observing the heights of the bars:
- January: Approximately 10 inches
- February: Approximately 20 inches
- March: Approximately 40 inches
- April: Approximately 35 inches
- May: Approximately 65 inches
- June: Approximately 80 inches
The tallest bar corresponds to
June, which has the highest rainfall.
Month with the most rainfall: June
####
5. The month of June receives, on average, more rainfall than which of the two months combined?
We need to compare the rainfall in June (approximately 80 inches) with the combined rainfall of the given pairs of months:
-
Option (a): April & May
- April: Approximately 35 inches
- May: Approximately 65 inches
- Combined: \( 35 + 65 = 100 \) inches
- June (80 inches) is
less than 100 inches.
-
Option (b): January & February
- January: Approximately 10 inches
- February: Approximately 20 inches
- Combined: \( 10 + 20 = 30 \) inches
- June (80 inches) is
more than 30 inches.
-
Option (c): March & April
- March: Approximately 40 inches
- April: Approximately 35 inches
- Combined: \( 40 + 35 = 75 \) inches
- June (80 inches) is
more than 75 inches.
From the comparisons, June receives more rainfall than the combined rainfall of
January & February.
Correct answer: b) Jan & Feb
Final Answers
1.
Title of the graph: Bar Graph
2.
Measurement on y-axis: Inches of rainfall
3.
Scale on y-axis: 0 to 80 (in increments of 10)
4.
