Question

A graph titled Calories in Strawberries. The x-axis shows the number of strawberries, numbered 1 to 9, and the y-axis shows the number of calories, numbered 3 to 27. A straight line with a positive slope begins at point (0, 0) and ends at point (6.8, 27).
The graph shows the relationship between the number of strawberries eaten and the approximate number of calories consumed. Which statement is true?

Each strawberry contains 4 calories.
Each strawberry contains 3 calories.
Twenty-four strawberries contain 6 calories.

Answer 1

True: Each strawberry contains about 4 calories.

Reason: The rate is 27 calories ÷ 6.8 strawberries ≈ 3.97 ≈ 4 calories per strawberry. So the first statement is correct; the second and third are false (24 strawberries ≈ 24×4 = 96 calories, not 6).
