The correct answer is D, Graph C. This is because Graph C accurately represents the amounts of each type of food given to the guinea pig in percentages of the total 80 grams. For example, the graph shows that 35% of the food was pellets, which is equivalent to 28 grams (35% of 80). Similarly, 20% of the food was hay (16 grams), 15% was carrots (12 grams), 10% was cucumber (8 grams), and 20% was lettuce (16 grams). The other graphs do not accurately represent the proportions of each type of food given to the guinea pig.
To determine which percentage bar graph best represents the data, we need to analyze the given information. The information states that Calvin gave his guinea pig 80 grams of food and provides a table showing the amount of each type of food.
To choose the correct bar graph, we need to compare the values in the table to the choices given. However, since the table data is not provided, we cannot directly compare the values.
To find the correct answer, we can make an educated guess by estimating the percentage value for each type of food. We can assume that the total amount of food is represented by 100%, and then estimate the percentage for each type.
Once we have estimated the percentages, we can compare them to the options given and select the graph that closely matches our estimates.
Without the table data or estimates, it is not possible to definitively determine the correct answer. However, you can choose an option based on the estimation and comparison method explained above.
