Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given data for the number of student volunteers each day from Monday to Friday:
- Monday: 12
- Tuesday: 18
- Wednesday: 15
- Thursday: 24
- Friday: 27
We need to make a bar graph. That means we’ll draw bars for each day, and the height of each bar should match the number of volunteers.
First, let’s pick a good scale for the vertical axis (the y-axis). The numbers go from 12 to 27. So we can start at 0 and go up to 30, counting by 5s or 6s. Let’s use increments of 5 because it’s easy:
Scale: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
That will fit all our numbers nicely.
Now, label the horizontal axis (x-axis) with the days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Label the vertical axis: “Number of Volunteers”
Give the graph a title. Since it’s about how many students volunteered each day, a good title is:
“Student Volunteers Each Day”
Now, draw the bars:
- Monday: bar goes up to 12 → between 10 and 15, closer to 10
- Tuesday: 18 → between 15 and 20, closer to 20
- Wednesday: 15 → exactly on 15
- Thursday: 24 → just below 25
- Friday: 27 → almost at 30
Make sure each bar is the same width and spaced evenly.
You’re done! You’ve made a clear bar graph that shows the volunteer numbers each day.
Final Answer:
Title: “Student Volunteers Each Day”
Vertical axis labeled: “Number of Volunteers” with scale 0 to 30 in steps of 5
Horizontal axis labeled with days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Bars drawn to heights: 12, 18, 15, 24, 27 respectively
