In a very rainy week, a town received 7 mm, 12 mm, 5 mm, 18 mm, 10 mm, 2 mm and 6 mm of rainfall starting from Monday. If this is represented on a divided bar graph of length 10 cm, what section of length goes to Thursday?
Question
In a very rainy week, a town received 7 mm, 12 mm, 5 mm, 18 mm, 10 mm, 2 mm and 6 mm of rainfall starting from Monday. If this is represented on a divided bar graph of length 10 cm, what section of length goes to Thursday?
Solution
To answer this question, we first need to find the total rainfall for the week.
Step 1: Add up all the rainfall measurements: 7 mm + 12 mm + 5 mm + 18 mm + 10 mm + 2 mm + 6 mm = 60 mm.
Step 2: Now, we need to find out what proportion of the total rainfall fell on Thursday. Thursday's rainfall was 18 mm. So, the proportion of total rainfall that fell on Thursday is 18 mm / 60 mm = 0.3.
Step 3: Finally, we need to find out what length on the 10 cm bar graph represents Thursday's rainfall. To do this, we multiply the total length of the bar graph (10 cm) by the proportion of rainfall that fell on Thursday (0.3).
So, 10 cm * 0.3 = 3 cm.
Therefore, Thursday's rainfall is represented by a section of length 3 cm on the bar graph.

Item 9In the graph of precipitation and temperature, the area marked A has aA graph is plotted with average temperature on the horizontal axis and average precipitation on the vertical axis. The average temperature is marked in degrees Celsius from 30 to minus 10 degrees in decrements of 10 degrees. The average precipitation is marked from 0 to 400 centimeters in increments of 100 centimeters. In the graph regions from A to E are noted. The precipitation goes down as the temperature goes down. At 30 degrees average temperature, the average precipitation is 400 centimeters and it goes down steadily and the average temperature is less than 100 degrees when the average temperature is minus 10 degrees Celsius.Multiple Choicewide precipitation range and narrow temperature range.narrow precipitation and temperature range.wide precipitation and temperature range.wide temperature range and narrow precipitation range.varying temperature and narrow precipitation range.
