Question

which statement is supported by the graph?
○ they sold the least lemonade with the recipe that used 3 lemons.
○ they sold the least lemonade with the recipe that used 7 lemons.
○ they sold the most lemonade with the recipe that used 3 lemons.
○ they sold the most lemonade with the recipe that used 7 lemons.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph's y - axis (Cups Sold) and x - axis (Lemons Used).

We look at the data points for each number of lemons used (3, 7, etc.) and their corresponding cups sold.

Step2: Evaluate each option.

• For the option "They sold the least lemonade with the recipe that used 3 lemons": The point for 3 lemons has a higher y - value (more cups sold) than the point for 7 lemons, so this is false.
• For the option "They sold the least lemonade with the recipe that used 7 lemons": The point for 7 lemons (x = 7) has the lowest y - value (cups sold) among the given points, so this is true.
• For the option "They sold the most lemonade with the recipe that used 3 lemons": The point for 5 lemons has a higher y - value than the point for 3 lemons, so this is false.
• For the option "They sold the most lemonade with the recipe that used 7 lemons": The point for 7 lemons has the lowest y - value, so this is false.

Answer:

B. They sold the least lemonade with the recipe that used 7 lemons.
