I will solve the problem presented in the image by first analyzing the data provided and then answering each of the six questions step-by-step.
First, look closely:
The image is a worksheet titled "Board game scaled bar graph". It presents a table with four friends (Olivia, James, Liam, Nora) and their corresponding game scores (10, 8, 12, 6 points respectively). Below the table is an empty bar graph template with the y-axis labeled "Number of points" (scaled from 0 to 12 in increments of 2) and the x-axis listing the four friends' names. To the right are illustrations of children playing a board game. At the bottom, there are six questions that require interpreting the data from the table.
Since the bar graph is empty, I can answer all the questions directly using the numerical data from the table without needing to draw the graph. The questions involve comparing scores, calculating differences, and identifying combinations that meet specific criteria.
Next, find information:
No external research is needed for this task. The solution can be derived entirely from the data presented in the table on the worksheet.
Then, review the findings:
I have all the necessary information to answer the questions. I will now proceed to solve each question one by one.

Solution:
Here are the answers to the six questions based on the data in the table:
1. Who got the highest points?
Looking at the "Points" column, Liam has 12 points, which is the highest score among the four friends.
Answer: Liam
2. How many points did James and Nora get?
James got 8 points and Nora got 6 points.
Answer: 8 and 6
3. How many fewer points did Olivia get than Liam?
Olivia has 10 points and Liam has 12 points. The difference is 12 - 10 = 2.
Answer: 2
4. How many more points did James get than Nora?
James has 8 points and Nora has 6 points. The difference is 8 - 6 = 2.
Answer: 2
5. Two kids got a total of 16 points. Who were they?
We need to find which two friends' scores add up to 16.
- Olivia (10) + James (8) = 18
- Olivia (10) + Liam (12) = 22
- Olivia (10) + Nora (6) = 16
✔
- James (8) + Liam (12) = 20
- James (8) + Nora (6) = 14
- Liam (12) + Nora (6) = 18
Only Olivia and Nora's scores add up to 16.
Answer: Olivia and Nora
6. Who got a score higher than Nora but less than Olivia?
Nora's score is 6 and Olivia's score is 10. We are looking for a score between 6 and 10.
- James has 8 points, which is greater than 6 and less than 10.
- Liam has 12 points, which is not less than 10.
Therefore, only James fits this criterion.
Answer: James
