An earth science class counted the types of insects found in a garden. The class made a bar graph. Each grid line represents 2 insects. The class found 14 ants. The bar for a ladybug is 3 grid lines lower than the bar for an ant. How many ladybugs did the class count?

I apologize for the error in my response. Let's solve the problem:
Since each grid line represents 2 insects and the bar for ants is 14 grid lines high, the class counted 14 ants.
The bar for ladybugs is 3 grid lines lower than the bar for ants:
14 (ants) - 3 = 11 (ladybugs)
Therefore, the class counted 11 ladybugs.
