Let’s solve each question step by step using the
Line Graph: Prawn Fishing Trip Results.
---
📊 Understanding the Graph:
-
X-axis (horizontal): Time of day — from 6 am to 11 am.
-
Y-axis (vertical): Number of prawns caught — from 0 to 10.
- Each point on the graph shows how many prawns were caught at that specific time.
We can read the values directly from the graph:
| Time | Prawns Caught |
|-------|---------------|
| 6 am | 5 |
| 7 am | 7 |
| 8 am | 9 |
| 9 am | 4 |
| 10 am | 6 |
| 11 am | 2 |

✔ Now, let’s answer each question:
---
① What time were the most prawn caught?
→ Look for the
highest point on the graph.
That’s at
8 am, where
9 prawns were caught.
✔ Answer: 8 a.m.
---
② What time were the fewest prawn caught?
→ Look for the
lowest point on the graph.
That’s at
11 am, where only
2 prawns were caught.
✔ Answer: 11 a.m.
---
③ From 7 a.m. to 8 a.m., did the number of prawn caught increase or decrease?
→ At 7 am → 7 prawns
→ At 8 am → 9 prawns
So, it
increased.
✔ Answer: Increase
---
④ How many prawn were caught at 7 a.m.?
→ From the graph, at 7 am, the point is at
7 on the y-axis.
✔ Answer: 7
---
⑤ How many prawn were caught at 8 a.m.?
→ At 8 am, the point is at
9 on the y-axis.
✔ Answer: 9
---
⑥ Were more caught at 10 a.m. or at 11 a.m.?
→ At 10 am → 6 prawns
→ At 11 am → 2 prawns
So,
more were caught at 10 a.m.
✔ Answer: 10 a.m.
---
⑦ What is the total number of prawn caught?
→ Add all the prawns caught at each hour:
5 (6 am) + 7 (7 am) + 9 (8 am) + 4 (9 am) + 6 (10 am) + 2 (11 am)
= 5 + 7 = 12
12 + 9 = 21
21 + 4 = 25
25 + 6 = 31
31 + 2 =
33
✔ Answer: 33
---
⑧ Were there at least 3 prawn caught at 11 a.m.?
→ At 11 am, only
2 prawns were caught.
“
At least 3” means 3 or more. Since 2 < 3, the answer is
no.
✔ Answer: No
