Math Problem Statement
(b)A bag has five marbles. Three are labeled with a "1", and the other two are labeled with a "2". Make a percent bar graph for the marbles.
Solution
To create a percent bar graph for the marbles in the bag, we first need to determine the percentage distribution of the marbles labeled "1" and "2".
Here’s the breakdown:
- There are 5 marbles in total.
- 3 marbles are labeled with a "1".
- 2 marbles are labeled with a "2".
The percentages are calculated as follows:
- Percent of "1" marbles:
- Percent of "2" marbles:
Percent Bar Graph Representation:
The graph will have two segments:
- A segment for the "1" marbles, which will be 60% of the total bar.
- A segment for the "2" marbles, which will be 40% of the total bar.
Text-based Visualization:
Marble Distribution:
1: 60% |█████████████████████████|
2: 40% |████████████████|
This is a simple representation where each segment of the bar corresponds to the percentage of marbles labeled "1" and "2".
