Let's analyze the provided information step-by-step to determine whether each statement is true or false.
1. The graph would have only four bars shorter than the bar for grapefruits:
- The amount of carbohydrates in Grapefruits is 21.
- We need to count how many fruits have carbohydrate amounts less than 21:
- Bananas (19) < 21
- Oranges (16) < 21
- Peaches (12) < 21
- Watermelons (17) < 21
- Total: Bananas, Oranges, Peaches, and Watermelons - 4 fruits.
- This statement is TRUE.
2. The graph would have five bars taller than the bar for apples:
- The amount of carbohydrates in Apples is 34.
- We need to count how many fruits have carbohydrate amounts greater than 34:
- Bananas (19) < 34
- Cherries (24) < 34
- Grapefruit (21) < 34
- Oranges (16) < 34
- Peaches (12) < 34
- Watermelons (17) < 34
- Total: No fruits have carbohydrates greater than 34.
- This statement is FALSE.
3. The graph would have grapefruits and oranges as the tallest bars:
- The tallest bar means fruits with the highest carbohydrate value.
- Checking all fruits, Apples have the highest amount (34).
- Neither Grapefruit (21) nor Oranges (16) are the tallest.
- This statement is FALSE.
4. The graph would have only one bar shorter than the bar for peaches:
- The amount of carbohydrates in Peaches is 12.
- We need to count how many fruits have carbohydrate amounts less than 12.
- In this case, no fruit has a carbohydrate amount less than 12.
- This statement is FALSE.
Thus, based on the information given and the analysis:
- Statement 1 is TRUE: The graph would have only four bars shorter than the bar for grapefruits.
- Statements 2, 3, and 4 are FALSE: The graph would not have five bars taller than the apples; grapefruits and oranges are not the tallest bars; there are no fruits with bars shorter than the bar for peaches.
