Let's solve each question step by step based on the bar graph titled
"Dozens of Pets Sold each Month."
---
Understanding the Graph:
- The
y-axis shows "Dozens of Pets Sold" from 0 to 9.
- Each unit on the y-axis represents
1 dozen = 12 pets.
- The
x-axis shows months from January to July.
We will read the height of each bar and convert it into actual number of pets (multiply by 12).
Here are the values:
| Month | Dozens Sold | Pets Sold (×12) |
|-----------|-------------|------------------|
| January | 6 | 6 × 12 = 72 |
| February | 5 | 5 × 12 = 60 |
| March | 1 | 1 × 12 = 12 |
| April | 7 | 7 × 12 = 84 |
| May | 2 | 2 × 12 = 24 |
| June | 8 | 8 × 12 = 96 |
| July | 3 | 3 × 12 = 36 |
