To determine the height of each bar in the bar graph, we need to divide the number of seconds by the number of seconds each grid line represents (2 seconds). Here’s how to fill in the responses:

  1. The bar for Michael would be 4 grid lines tall. (8 seconds / 2 seconds per grid line = 4)
  2. The bar for Sandy would be 3 grid lines tall. (6 seconds / 2 seconds per grid line = 3)
  3. The bar for Ronaldo would be 6 grid lines tall. (12 seconds / 2 seconds per grid line = 6)

So, the complete statements are:

  • The bar for Michael would be 4 grid lines tall.
  • The bar for Sandy would be 3 grid lines tall.
  • The bar for Ronaldo would be 6 grid lines tall.
