Problem Analysis:
The image contains a line graph titled "Prawn Fishing Trip Results," which shows the number of prawns caught at different times of the day. The x-axis represents time (from 6 am to 11 am), and the y-axis represents the number of prawns caught. We need to answer several questions based on this graph.
Graph Observations:
-
6 am: Approximately 5 prawns.
-
7 am: Approximately 7 prawns.
-
8 am: Approximately 9 prawns.
-
9 am: Approximately 4 prawns.
-
10 am: Approximately 6 prawns.
-
11 am: Approximately 2 prawns.
Question-by-Question Solution:
####
1. What time were the most prawns caught?
- From the graph, the highest point is at
8 am, where approximately 9 prawns were caught.
-
Answer: 8 am
####
2. What time were the fewest prawns caught?
- From the graph, the lowest point is at
11 am, where approximately 2 prawns were caught.
-
Answer: 11 am
####
3. From 7 a.m. to 8 a.m., did the number of prawns caught increase or decrease?
- At 7 am, the number of prawns caught is approximately 7.
- At 8 am, the number of prawns caught is approximately 9.
- The number increased from 7 to 9.
-
Answer: Increase
####
4. How many prawns were caught at 7 a.m.?
- From the graph, at 7 am, the number of prawns caught is approximately 7.
-
Answer: 7
####
5. How many prawns were caught at 8 a.m.?
- From the graph, at 8 am, the number of prawns caught is approximately 9.
-
Answer: 9
####
6. Were more caught at 10 a.m. or at 11 a.m.?
- At 10 am, the number of prawns caught is approximately 6.
- At 11 am, the number of prawns caught is approximately 2.
- More prawns were caught at 10 am.
-
Answer: 10 a.m.
####
7. What is the total number of prawns caught?
- Sum the number of prawns caught at each time:
- 6 am: 5
- 7 am: 7
- 8 am: 9
- 9 am: 4
- 10 am: 6
- 11 am: 2
- Total = 5 + 7 + 9 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 33
-
Answer: 33
####
8. Were there at least 3 prawns caught at 11 a.m.?
- From the graph, at 11 am, the number of prawns caught is approximately 2.
- 2 is less than 3.
