The ratio of the area of the red rectangle to the blue rectangle in graph A is 3 : 5
Median weekly earnings
The median weekly earnings on the graphs are
- High school diploma = $750
- Bachelor's degree = $1250
Represent as a ratio
Ratio = $750 : $1250
Divide by 250
Ratio = 3 : 5
Hence, the ratio of the median weekly earnings is 3 : 5
The ratio of the area in graph A
In (a), we have:
Ratio = 3 : 5
The horizontal scale is given as:
Ratio = 1 unit : 1 grid mark
The rectangles in graph A have a width of 1 unit.
So, we have:
Ratio = 3 * 1: 5 * 1
Ratio = 3 : 5
Hence, the ratio of the area of the red rectangle to the blue rectangle in graph A is 3 : 5
The ratio of the area in graph B
Recall that:
Ratio = 3 : 5
Ratio = 1 unit : 1 grid mark
From the graph, we have the following widths:
Red = 3 units
Blue = 5 units
So, we have:
Ratio = 3 * 3 : 5 * 5
Simplify
Ratio = 9 : 25
Hence, the ratio of the area of the red rectangle to the blue rectangle in graph B is 9 : 25
The ratio of the volume in graph C
Recall that:
Ratio = 3 : 5
Ratio = 1 unit : 1 grid mark
From the graph, we have the following widths:
Red = 3 units
Blue = 5 units
Since the base are squares, we have:
Ratio = 3 * 3 * 3 : 5 * 5 * 5
Simplify
Ratio = 27 : 125
Hence, the ratio of the volume of the red cube to the blue cube in graph C is 27 : 125
The most misleading graph
The most misleading graph is graph B.
This is so because the blue rectangle and the red rectangle do not have the same width when plotted on the same scale
