Let's analyze the table and how it would appear on a bar graph step by step:
1. Bars shorter than Grapefruit:
- For Grapefruit, the carbohydrate content is 24 grams.
- We identify the fruits with carbohydrate content less than 24 grams:
- Apples: 17 grams
- Cherries: 19 grams
- Oranges: 21 grams
- Peaches: 16 grams
- Watermelons: 12 grams
Therefore, there are 5 bars (Apples, Cherries, Oranges, Peaches, Watermelons) that are shorter than the bar for Grapefruit.
2. Bars taller than Apples:
- For Apples, the carbohydrate content is 17 grams.
- We identify the fruits with carbohydrate content more than 17 grams:
- Bananas: 34 grams
- Cherries: 19 grams
- Grapefruit: 24 grams
- Oranges: 21 grams
Therefore, there are 4 bars (Bananas, Cherries, Grapefruit, Oranges) that are taller than the bar for Apples.
3. Tallest bars:
- We identify the fruits with the highest carbohydrate content:
- The highest carbohydrate content is 34 grams (Bananas).
- The second highest carbohydrate content is 24 grams (Grapefruit).
Therefore, the tallest bars are for Bananas and Grapefruit.
4. Bars shorter than Peaches:
- For Peaches, the carbohydrate content is 16 grams.
- We identify the fruits with carbohydrate content less than 16 grams:
- Watermelons: 12 grams
Therefore, there is only 1 bar (Watermelons) that is shorter than the bar for Peaches.
Based on these observations:
- The graph would have 5 bars shorter than the bar for grapefruits.
- The graph would have 4 bars taller than the bar for apples.
- The graph would have Bananas and Grapefruit as the tallest bars.
- The graph would have only 1 bar shorter than the bar for peaches.
Thus, the correct statements are:
1. The graph would have 5 bars shorter than the bar for grapefruits.
2. The graph would have 4 bars taller than the bar for apples.
3. The graph would have Bananas and Grapefruits as the tallest bars.
4. The graph would have only 1 bar shorter than the bar for peaches.
These match the given statements exactly, so we now confirm each point in context.
