To match the spending patterns of Karrie, Luke, and Mason with their respective graphs, let's summarize their spending behaviors:

  1. Karrie - Spent a small amount of money in the first half of the month and then spent the rest in the second half, which implies a slow start followed by a sharp drop in the second half of the month.
  2. Luke - Spent his money steadily throughout the month, which would correspond to a linear, gradual decrease in his total amount of money over time.
  3. Mason - Spent all of his money rapidly in the first half of the month, which indicates a steep drop in his funds early on, followed by a flat line when he has no money left.

Given these descriptions, you can match each child's spending with the correct graph as follows:

  • Karrie - Graph with a slow decrease initially followed by a steep decrease in the second half.
  • Luke - Graph showing a straight, steady decline throughout the month.
  • Mason - Graph with a steep drop early in the month followed by a flat line.

Please insert the names into the corresponding graphs based on these descriptions.
