Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a table showing how many hot dogs were sold each day. But the graph we need to draw is labeled “Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold per Day”. That means we must convert the number of hot dogs into dozens before drawing the bars.
Remember:
1 dozen = 12 items
So, to find how many dozens were sold each day, we divide the number of hot dogs by 12.
Let’s do that for each day:
- Monday: 84 ÷ 12 = 7 → So, 7 dozens
- Tuesday: 60 ÷ 12 = 5 → So, 5 dozens
- Wednesday: 12 ÷ 12 = 1 → So, 1 dozen
- Thursday: 72 ÷ 12 = 6 → So, 6 dozens
- Friday: 36 ÷ 12 = 3 → So, 3 dozens
- Saturday: 48 ÷ 12 = 4 → So, 4 dozens
- Sunday: 24 ÷ 12 = 2 → So, 2 dozens
Now, on the bar graph, the Y-axis is already labeled from 0 to 9 (for dozens), and the X-axis has the days of the week.
For each day, we will draw a bar up to the correct number of dozens:
- Monday → bar goes up to 7
- Tuesday → bar goes up to 5
- Wednesday → bar goes up to 1
- Thursday → bar goes up to 6
- Friday → bar goes up to 3
- Saturday → bar goes up to 4
- Sunday → bar goes up to 2
Make sure each bar is drawn neatly and matches the height shown on the Y-axis.
Final Answer:
The completed bar graph should have bars with heights corresponding to these values (in dozens):
Monday: 7, Tuesday: 5, Wednesday: 1, Thursday: 6, Friday: 3, Saturday: 4, Sunday: 2.
