To determine which statements are true without having access to the specific graph you mentioned, I will provide a general approach to analyze each statement based on possible trends in graphs representing the number of chapters read over a week.

  1. Sarah read at least one chapter every single day.

    • If the graph shows that the number of chapters Sarah read on each day is greater than or equal to 1, this statement is true. Check if there are any days with 0 chapters.
  2. The total number of chapters Sarah read on the weekend was more than the total number she read on the weekdays.

    • Add the chapters read on Saturday and Sunday, and then compare that total to the sum of chapters read from Monday to Friday.
  3. Sarah read fewer than two chapters on three days.

    • Count the number of days where the chapters read are less than 2.
  4. Sarah read the same amount on Wednesday and Thursday.

    • Check if the number of chapters read on both Wednesday and Thursday is equal.
  5. The total number of chapters Sarah read this week was 22 chapters.

    • Compute the total number of chapters by summing up all the days. This statement is true only if the total equals 22.
  6. Sarah read twice as many chapters Sunday as Tuesday.

    • Compare the chapters read on Sunday with that on Tuesday to see if Sunday’s amount is exactly double.
  7. Sarah read less than four chapters on five days.

    • Count how many days had fewer than four chapters; this statement is true only if there are exactly five such days.

Once you can evaluate each statement based on the data from the graph, you can check the boxes for those that apply.
