Problem Analysis:
The image contains a line graph showing the number of volunteers for a project over five days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The task is to answer five questions based on the data presented in the graph.
Graph Details:
-
X-axis (Horizontal Axis): Days of the week (Monday to Friday).
-
Y-axis (Vertical Axis): Number of volunteers (ranging from 0 to 12).
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Question 1: What was the number of volunteers on Monday?
- From the graph, locate the point corresponding to Monday on the x-axis.
- The y-coordinate of this point represents the number of volunteers.
- On Monday, the graph shows that there were
5 volunteers.
Answer: 5

Question 2: How many more volunteers were on Thursday than on Wednesday?
- Locate the points for Wednesday and Thursday on the graph.
- For Wednesday, the number of volunteers is
6.
- For Thursday, the number of volunteers is
8.
- Calculate the difference: \( 8 - 6 = 2 \).
Answer: 2

Question 3: On which day was there the least number of volunteers?
- Examine the y-values for each day:
- Monday: 5
- Tuesday: 10
- Wednesday: 6
- Thursday: 8
- Friday: 4
- The smallest value is
4, which corresponds to Friday.
Answer: Friday

Question 4: On which day were there 10 volunteers?
- Look for the point on the graph where the y-value is 10.
- This occurs on
Tuesday.
Answer: Tuesday

####
Question 5: What is the total number of volunteers on Monday and Tuesday?
- From the graph:
- Number of volunteers on Monday: 5
- Number of volunteers on Tuesday: 10
- Add these values: \( 5 + 10 = 15 \).
Answer: 15
