Let's solve the
Measurement Comparison problem step by step using the bar graph provided.
Step 1: Understand the Graph
The graph shows five towers labeled
A, B, C, D, and E, each made up of stacked orange cubes. The height of each tower corresponds to the number of cubes it has.
We count the number of cubes in each tower:
-
Tower A: 6 cubes
-
Tower B: 4 cubes
-
Tower C: 5 cubes
-
Tower D: 5 cubes
-
Tower E: 3 cubes
---
Step 2: Answer the Questions
####
1. Which two towers are the same height?
Looking at the counts:
- Tower C = 5 cubes
- Tower D = 5 cubes
✔ So,
Towers C and D are the same height.
>
Answer: Towers C and D

####
2. Which tower is the shortest?
Compare all heights:
- A: 6
- B: 4
- C: 5
- D: 5
- E: 3
The smallest number is
3, which belongs to
Tower E.
>
Answer: Tower E

####
3. How many cubes tall is tower C?
From above, Tower C has
5 cubes.
>
Answer: 5
---
####
4. Which towers are taller than tower B?
Tower B is
4 cubes tall.
Now check which towers are taller than 4:
- Tower A: 6 →
✔
- Tower C: 5 →
✔
- Tower D: 5 →
✔
- Tower E: 3 →
✘
So,
A, C, and D are taller than B.
>
Answer: Towers A, C, and D

✔ Final Answers:
1.
Which two towers are the same height?
→
C and D
2.
Which tower is the shortest?
→
E
3.
How many cubes tall is tower C?
→
5
4.
Which towers are taller than tower B?
→
A, C, and D
