The first box of the top box ranges from 100 to 150 and second box of the top box ranges from 150 to 300. The second line of the top box ranges from 300 to 325. The top box is labeled as Morning Snack. The bottom box plot ranges from 275 to 500. The first line of the bottom box ranges from 275 to 300. The first box of the bottom box ranges from 300 to 375 and the second box of the bottom box ranges from 375 to 450. The second line of the bottom box ranges from 450 to 500.

Answer 1

To determine the range of calories for both morning and afternoon snacks:

1. **Morning Snacks**: The morning snack range is from 75 to 325.
- Range = 325 - 75 = 250 calories.

2. **Afternoon Snacks**: The afternoon snack range is from 275 to 500.
- Range = 500 - 275 = 225 calories.

Now we can complete the statement:

The range of calories in Tom’s morning snacks is about **greater than** the range of calories in his afternoon snacks.

So the full completed statement would be:

The range of calories in Tom’s morning snacks is about **greater than** the range of calories in his afternoon snacks.
