Question

A graph shows Round Target on the x-axis, from 0 to 10, and Square Target on the y-axis, from 0 to 10. A dashed straight line has a negative slope and goes through (2, 5) and (10, 0). Everything above and to the right of the line is shaded.

The graph represents the ways Janelle can win the beanbag toss game. Which describes a way Janelle can win the game?
a.land on round 7 times; land on square 1 time
b.land on round 6 times; land on square 2 times
c.land on round 5 times; land on square 3 times
d.land on round 4 times; land on square 4 times

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) 'land on round 5 times; land on square 3 times'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents the ways Janelle can win the beanbag toss game. The dashed straight line with a negative slope represents the boundary between winning and losing. Any point above and to the right of the line is shaded, indicating a win.

To determine a way Janelle can win the game, we need to find a point that lies above and to the right of the line. Looking at the answer options, we can see that option (c) 'land on round 5 times; land on square 3 times' satisfies this condition. Therefore, (c) is the correct answer.
