Question

Study the bar graph about aircraft production in 1943. Which of these statements are correct? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Together, Japan and Germany built as many aircraft as the United States.

Japan built the fewest aircraft.

Germany and Britain built about the same number of aircraft.

Germany built the fewest aircraft.

The United States built more aircraft than Britain, Germany, and Japan combined.

Answer 1

I don’t have the graph or its numbers, so I can’t tell which statements are true. Please either upload the bar graph image or type the aircraft counts (or the relative heights) for the United States, Britain, Germany, and Japan, and I’ll check each statement.

If you prefer to check yourself, here’s how to decide each statement from the bar values:

- "Together, Japan and Germany built as many aircraft as the United States."
- Add Japan + Germany and compare to United States. True if equal.

- "Japan built the fewest aircraft."
- Find the smallest bar/number. True if Japan is smallest.

- "Germany and Britain built about the same number of aircraft."
- Compare Britain and Germany bars/numbers. True if they are approximately equal.

- "Germany built the fewest aircraft."
- True if Germany is the smallest value.

- "The United States built more aircraft than Britain, Germany, and Japan combined."
- Add Britain + Germany + Japan and compare to United States. True if United States > sum.

Send the graph or values and I’ll mark which boxes apply.
