Let’s solve each question step by step using the line graph.
First, let’s read the data from the graph for each day:
- Monday: 3 bicycles
- Tuesday: 2 bicycles
- Wednesday: 6 bicycles
- Thursday: 4 bicycles
- Friday: 6 bicycles
- Saturday: 9 bicycles
Now, let’s answer each question.
---
1. On what day were the least number of bicycles sold?
Look at all the numbers:
Monday = 3, Tuesday = 2, Wednesday = 6, Thursday = 4, Friday = 6, Saturday = 9
The smallest number is
2, which happened on
Tuesday.
✔ Answer: Tuesday
---
2. On what days were the same number of bicycles sold?
Look for matching numbers:
- Wednesday = 6
- Friday = 6 → So Wednesday and Friday are the same.
No other days match.
✔ Answer: Wednesday and Friday

3. How many bicycles were sold in all?
Add up all the daily sales:
3 (Mon) + 2 (Tue) + 6 (Wed) + 4 (Thu) + 6 (Fri) + 9 (Sat)
Let’s add step by step:
3 + 2 = 5
5 + 6 = 11
11 + 4 = 15
15 + 6 = 21
21 + 9 = 30
✔ Total = 30 bicycles
---
4. Write in simplest form the fraction of bicycles sold on each day.
Total bicycles = 30
We’ll write each day’s sales as a fraction over 30, then simplify.
a.
Wednesday: 6 out of 30 → 6/30
Divide numerator and denominator by 6 → 1/5
b.
Tuesday: 2 out of 30 → 2/30
Divide by 2 → 1/15
c.
Monday: 3 out of 30 → 3/30
Divide by 3 → 1/10
d.
Saturday: 9 out of 30 → 9/30
Divide by 3 → 3/10
✔ Answers:
a. 1/5
b. 1/15
c. 1/10
d. 3/10

Final Answer:
1. Tuesday
2. Wednesday and Friday
3. 30
4. a. 1/5 b. 1/15 c. 1/10 d. 3/10
