Daniela is logging her water consumption for each day of the week in the table.

She is representing these data on a bar graph, where the x
-axis is the day of the week and the y
-axis is the number of ounces of water consumed. If she drank a total of 381 oz. of water for the whole week, how tall should the Sunday bar be on her graph?

To find out how much water Daniela drank on Sunday, we need to subtract the total amount of water she drank from Monday to Saturday from the total amount she drank for the whole week.

First, let's add the amounts drank from Monday to Saturday:

  • Monday: 64 oz.
  • Tuesday: 50 oz.
  • Wednesday: 60 oz.
  • Thursday: 54 oz.
  • Friday: 39 oz.
  • Saturday: 66 oz.

Calculating the total for these days:

\[ 64 + 50 + 60 + 54 + 39 + 66 = 333 \text{ oz.} \]

Now, we can determine how much water Daniela drank on Sunday by subtracting the total of the first six days from her total for the week:

\[ 381 \text{ oz.} - 333 \text{ oz.} = 48 \text{ oz.} \]

Thus, the height of the bar for Sunday on her graph should be 48 oz.
