Let’s look at the bar graph titled “Our Favorite Fruits.” Each bar shows how many kids liked a certain fruit. The height of each bar matches the number on the left (from 0 to 8).
Here’s what we see:
-
Orange → bar goes up to
6
-
Banana → bar goes up to
2
-
Pear → bar goes up to
3
-
Apple → bar goes up to
