Question

A 3-column table with 6 rows titled Dreadnought Construction. Column 1 is labeled Year with entries Pre-1910, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914. Column 2 is labeled Britain with entries 7, 3, 5, 3, 7, 3. Column 3 is labeled Germany with entries 7, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1.
What does the chart show about Great Britain’s construction of battleships between 1910 and 1914?

It built slightly fewer ships than Germany.
It built slightly more ships than Germany.
It built more than twice as many ships as Germany.
It built more than three times as many ships as Germany.

Answer 1

It built more than twice as many ships as Germany.

Calculation: Britain 1910–1914 = 3+5+3+7+3 = 21; Germany = 1+3+2+3+1 = 10. 21 is slightly more than 2 × 10.
