Karrie, Luke, and Mason receive the same allowance each month from their parents. Karrie spent a small amount of her money in the first half of the month, then spent the rest of her money in the second half of the month. Luke steadily spent his money throughout the entire month. Mason rapidly spent all of his money in the first half of the month. Match each child's spending with the correct graph.   NOTE: There should only be one name per graph.

To match the children's spending patterns with the graphs based on the descriptions provided:

  1. Karrie: She spent a small amount in the first half and then the rest in the second half. This would be represented by a graph that shows a slow decrease in money spent initially and then a steep drop-off when she spends the rest.

  2. Luke: He spent his money steadily throughout the month. His spending would be represented by a linear graph that decreases gradually and consistently over time.

  3. Mason: He rapidly spent all of his money in the first half of the month. This would be a graph that shows a steep drop in the first half and then horizontal (no spending) for the second half of the month.

Based on these descriptions, you can assign the responses as follows:

  • Mason: Insert his name with the graph that shows rapid spending in the first half and none in the second.
  • Luke: Insert his name with the graph that shows a steady decrease in spending over the entire month.
  • Karrie: Insert her name with the graph that shows a small decrease in spending initially and then a larger drop in the second half of the month.

Now, you can input the responses accordingly to match each child with their correct spending graph.
