Let’s solve each question step by step using the bar graph.
First, let’s read the values from the graph for each month:
- January: 6 dozens
- February: 5 dozens
- March: 1 dozen
- April: 7 dozens
- May: 2 dozens
- June: 8 dozens
- July: 3 dozens
Remember: The graph shows “Dozens of Pets Sold”, so 1 dozen = 12 pets. But since all questions ask for “how many pets” and the answers are based on dozens, we’ll calculate in dozens first — then multiply by 12 if needed. Wait — actually, looking at the questions, they say “how many pets were sold”, but the graph is labeled “Dozens of Pets Sold”. So we must convert dozens to actual number of pets (multiply by 12) unless the question expects answer in dozens? Let’s check the wording.
Actually, re-reading the questions:
> How many pets were sold in July and April combined?
The graph says “Dozens of Pets Sold”, so if it says 3 dozens in July, that’s 3 × 12 = 36 pets.
But wait — sometimes in these worksheets, they might expect you to just add the numbers as shown (in dozens), and call that “pets” — which would be incorrect, but common in lower grades. However, the label clearly says “Dozens of Pets Sold”, so we should convert to actual pets.
BUT — let’s look at the last question: “Were more pets sold in January or in April?” — if we go by dozens, January=6, April=7 → April has more. If we convert, same result.
However, for consistency, and because the graph title says “Dozens”, I think the intended interpretation is that the numbers on the Y-axis are dozens, and when they ask “how many pets”, they want the actual count (so multiply by 12).
Wait — let me double-check with a standard approach. In most elementary math worksheets like this, when the graph says “Dozens of Pets Sold”, and asks “how many pets”, they expect you to multiply by 12. For example, if March shows 1 dozen, that’s 12 pets.
So let’s proceed by converting each
