Question

Study the bar graph. Based on this graph, which of the following statements are correct? Check all of the boxes that apply.

The United States produced more steel in 1944 than Germany, Britain, and Japan combined.

Britain produced about 10 million tons of steel in 1944.

Britain and Japan combined made more steel than Germany.

Answer 1

I don’t have the graph image or its values. Please upload the graph or tell me the steel amounts (in million tons) for the United States, Germany, Britain, and Japan in 1944 and I’ll check each statement.

If you want to check them yourself, here’s how:

1. For the first statement: add Germany + Britain + Japan. If that sum is less than the U.S. bar value, the statement is true; otherwise it’s false.

2. For the second statement: see the height of Britain’s bar — if it’s about 10 million tons (allowing a small rounding difference) the statement is true; otherwise it’s false.

3. For the third statement: add Britain + Japan. If that sum is greater than Germany’s value, the statement is true; otherwise it’s false.

If you post the numbers or the image, I’ll evaluate each statement for you.
