Question

1. four students graphed the data below (orange = carrot, green = bell pepper). which graph is correct?

vegetable mass and calories data
vegetable | mass (g) | calories
bell pepper | 140 | 36
carrot | 80 | 48
(graphs a, b, c, d are shown with calories vs. mass axes)
graph a:
graph b:
graph c:
graph d

Explanation:

Step1: Identify data points

Bell Pepper: Mass = 140 g, Calories = 36. Carrot: Mass = 80 g, Calories = 40.

Step2: Check x - axis (Mass) and y - axis (Calories) scales

For Carrot (80g, 40cal) and Bell Pepper (140g, 36cal), Graph B has appropriate axis scales (x - axis up to ~80 - 140, y - axis up to ~40 - 36 range) and correctly plots the points: Carrot at (80, 40), Bell Pepper at (140, 36). Other graphs (A: wrong calorie scale; C, D: wrong mass/calorie ranges) don't match.

Answer:

Graph B
