1 answer

To determine how many more pages the winner read than the loser, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the bars for Javi and MeriAnne:

    • Look at the bar graph and see how many pages each person read on each day of the week (Monday through Friday).
  2. Total the pages for each participant:

    • Add the number of pages read by Javi across the five days.
    • Similarly, add the number of pages read by MeriAnne across the same days.
  3. Compare the totals:

    • Subtract the lower total from the higher total to find out how many more pages the winner read than the loser.

Since I don't have the actual graph data, I can't provide specific numbers. However, if you provide the number of pages read by Javi and MeriAnne each day, I can help you with the calculations and final answer!
