Let's solve each question step by step using the bar graph titled
"How Community Workers Travel to Work".
Step 1: Understand the Bar Graph
The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows
types of transport: Walk, Bicycle, Bus, Train, Car.
The vertical axis (y-axis) shows the
number of workers, ranging from 0 to 40 in increments of 5.
From the graph:
-
Walk: 40 workers
-
Bicycle: 30 workers
-
Bus: 35 workers
-
Train: 20 workers
-
Car: 10 workers

Now let’s answer each question:
---
1. How do most workers travel to work?
Look for the tallest bar. The
WALK bar is the tallest at
