Question

the table below shows the amount of carbohydrates in similar servings of different fruits. amount of carbohydrates in fruit 237 ml of fruit carbohydrates (grams) apples 17 bananas 34 cherries 19 grapefruit 24 oranges 21 peaches 16 watermelons 12 if this data was placed in a bar graph, which statement would describe the graph? the graph would have only four bars shorter than the bar for grapefruits. the graph would have five bars taller than the bar for apples. the graph would have grapefruits and oranges as the tallest bars. the graph would have only one bar shorter than the bar for peaches.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each option

• Option 1: Count the number of fruits with carbohydrate grams less than grapefruit (24). Apples (17), Cherries (19), Peaches (16), Watermelons (12) → 4 fruits. But bananas (34) is more. So this option is wrong.
• Option 2: Count the number of fruits with carbohydrate grams more than apples (17). Bananas (34), Cherries (19), Grapefruit (24), Oranges (21) → 4 fruits. Not 5. So this option is wrong.
• Option 3: The tallest bar is bananas (34). So this option is wrong.
• Option 4: Count the number of fruits with carbohydrate grams less than peaches (16). Only watermelons (12). So this option is correct.

Answer:

The graph would have only one bar shorter than the bar for peaches.
