Let's solve this step-by-step.

Problem:
We are given a table of the number of hot dogs sold each day of the week. We need to
draw a bar graph using this data, with the
y-axis in dozens (i.e., groups of 12).
---
Step 1: Understand the Data
Here is the data:
| Day | # of Hot Dogs Sold |
|-----------|--------------------|
| Monday | 84 |
| Tuesday | 60 |
| Wednesday | 12 |
| Thursday | 72 |
| Friday | 36 |
| Saturday | 48 |
| Sunday | 24 |
---
Step 2: Convert to "Dozens"
Since the y-axis is labeled
"Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold", we need to convert each number into
dozens.
> Recall:
> $$
> \text{Dozens} = \frac{\text{Number of hot dogs}}{12}
> $$
Let’s calculate:
-
Monday: $ 84 ÷ 12 = 7 $ dozens
-
Tuesday: $ 60 ÷ 12 = 5 $ dozens
-
Wednesday: $ 12 ÷ 12 = 1 $ dozen
-
Thursday: $ 72 ÷ 12 = 6 $ dozens
-
Friday: $ 36 ÷ 12 = 3 $ dozens
-
Saturday: $ 48 ÷ 12 = 4 $ dozens
-
Sunday: $ 24 ÷ 12 = 2 $ dozens
So now, the converted data is:
| Day | Dozens Sold |
|-----------|-------------|
| Monday | 7 |
| Tuesday | 5 |
| Wednesday | 1 |
| Thursday | 6 |
| Friday | 3 |
| Saturday | 4 |
| Sunday | 2 |

Step 3: Draw the Bar Graph
Now, on the provided grid:
- The
x-axis has days of the week.
- The
y-axis goes from 0 to 9 (in dozens).
- For each day, draw a bar that reaches up to the corresponding number of dozens.
#### Instructions for drawing:
1.
Monday: Draw a bar up to
7 on the y-axis.
2.
Tuesday: Up to
5
3.
Wednesday: Up to
1
4.
Thursday: Up to
6
5.
Friday: Up to
3
6.
Saturday: Up to
4
7.
Sunday: Up to
2
Each bar should be of equal width and spaced evenly across the x-axis.

Final Answer (Description of Graph):
The bar graph will show:
-
Monday: tallest bar at 7
-
Thursday: second tallest at 6
-
Tuesday: 5
-
Saturday: 4
-
Friday: 3
-
Sunday: 2
-
Wednesday: shortest at 1
All bars are drawn vertically above their respective days.

✔ Summary:
You have successfully:
- Converted hot dog counts into dozens.
- Used the correct scale (each unit = 1 dozen).
- Plotted bars accordingly.
This completes the task of
drawing a bar graph based on the given data.
