This worksheet helps students practice creating bar graphs using data about the speeds of various flying insects like dragonflies and hornets.

Let’s go step by step to solve each question using the table and graph.

---

First, let’s fill in the missing data from the table:

The table says:

- Bumblebee → 18 mph
- Deer Bot Fly → 27 mph
- Dragonfly → 40 mph
- Hawkmoth → ??? (missing)
- Hornet → 21 mph

Looking at the bar graph titled “FASTEST INSECT”, we can see bars for:

- Dragonfly → bar goes up to 40 → matches table ✔
- Hawkmoth → bar goes up to about 34 or 35? Let’s check carefully.

On the y-axis (speed), each line is 5 units: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45.

The Hawkmoth bar stops just below 35 — it looks like 34 mph. But since this is a math worksheet for students, they probably expect us to read it as 34 or maybe even 35? Wait — let’s look again.

Actually, looking closely at the graph: the Hawkmoth bar reaches exactly halfway between 30 and 35? No — actually, it looks like it’s at 34, but that’s not a round number. Maybe it’s meant to be 34? Or perhaps we’re supposed to estimate based on the graph?

Wait — question #2 says: *“Estimate how fast a hawkmoth can fly. Fill in the missing data in the table.”*

So we are supposed to use the graph to estimate the Hawkmoth speed.

Looking at the graph:

- The Hawkmoth bar ends slightly below the 35 line — maybe at 34? But in school worksheets, often they make it land on a whole number that’s easy to read.

Actually, let me count the grid lines. From 30 to 35 is one big square. If the bar goes 4/5 of the way up from 30 to 35, that would be 34. But maybe it’s intended to be 34.

But wait — let’s think differently. Maybe the graph was drawn with exact values, and we can reverse-engineer it.

Dragonfly = 40 → bar hits 40 → correct.

Hornet = 21 → but there’s no bar for Hornet yet! Oh — the instruction says: “Use the data to fill in the missing bars on the graph below” — so currently only Dragonfly and Hawkmoth have bars? Actually, looking again — in the image, only two bars are drawn: Dragonfly (at 40) and Hawkmoth (around 34). The others are blank.

But question #2 asks us to estimate Hawkmoth from the graph and fill in the table. So we must use the graph to find Hawkmoth’s speed.

Looking at the Hawkmoth bar: it reaches just under 35. Let’s say 34 mph. That seems reasonable.

But let’s double-check with other questions — maybe we don’t need the exact value until later.

Actually, let’s proceed question by question.

---

Question 1: Use the data to fill in the missing bars on the graph below

We have the table:

- Bumblebee: 18 → draw bar up to 18 (between 15 and 20)
- Deer Bot Fly: 27 → between 25 and 30
- Dragonfly: already done at 40
- Hawkmoth: we’ll estimate from graph as ~34 (but actually, since question 2 asks us to estimate it, maybe we should do Q2 first?)

Wait — perhaps the graph is incomplete, and we are to complete it using the table — except Hawkmoth is missing in the table, so we must get its value from the graph.

Yes — that makes sense.

So for Question 1: we draw bars for:

- Bumblebee: 18 → height 18
- Deer Bot Fly: 27 → height 27
- Hornet: 21 → height 21

And leave Hawkmoth as is (since we don’t know it yet — we’ll estimate it in Q2).

But the graph already has Hawkmoth drawn — so maybe we are to assume that the existing bars are correct, and we add the missing ones.

Actually, re-reading: “Use the data to fill in the missing bars” — meaning, the table gives us speeds for all except Hawkmoth, and the graph shows some bars already (Dragonfly and Hawkmoth), so we need to add bars for Bumblebee, Deer Bot Fly, and Hornet using their table values.

Then for Hawkmoth, since it’s missing in the table, we estimate from the graph in Q2.

Okay, that works.

So for now, let’s move to Q2.

Question 2: Estimate how fast a hawkmoth can fly. Fill in the missing data in the table.

Look at the Hawkmoth bar on the graph.

Y-axis: each major line is 5 mph.

The bar goes up to a point that is 4 small grids above 30? Wait — if each big square is 5, and it’s divided into 5 small squares, then each small square is 1 mph.

Looking at the graph: from 30 to 35, there are 5 small boxes → each box = 1 mph.

The Hawkmoth bar reaches the 4th small box above 30 → so 30 + 4 = 34 mph.

So Hawkmoth = 34 mph

Fill that into the table.

Now our full table is:

- Bumblebee: 18
- Deer Bot Fly: 27
- Dragonfly: 40
- Hawkmoth: 34
- Hornet: 21

Question 3: A dragonfly can fly twice as fast as a hornet. True or false?

Dragonfly = 40 mph
Hornet = 21 mph
Twice hornet = 21 × 2 = 42 mph

Is 40 equal to 42? No.

So False

---

Question 4: A cheetah can run at 64 miles per hour. How much faster than a dragonfly is this?

Cheetah: 64 mph
Dragonfly: 40 mph
Difference: 64 - 40 = 24 mph

---

Question 5: How much faster is the deer bot fly than the bumblebee?

Deer Bot Fly: 27 mph
Bumblebee: 18 mph
Difference: 27 - 18 = 9 mph

---

Now, back to Question 1: we were to fill in the missing bars on the graph.

Using the table:

- Bumblebee: 18 → draw bar to 18
- Deer Bot Fly: 27 → draw bar to 27
- Hornet: 21 → draw bar to 21

(Dragonfly and Hawkmoth are already drawn.)

So that completes Q1.

All answers:

Q1: Draw bars for Bumblebee (18), Deer Bot Fly (27), Hornet (21)
Q2: Hawkmoth = 34 mph
Q3: False
Q4: 24
Q5: 9

Final Answer:

1) Bars added for Bumblebee (18), Deer Bot Fly (27), Hornet (21)
2) 34
3) False
4) 24
5) 9
