The correct option for representing the scales on the graph is: B. The x-axis could be labeled from 0 to 5 with a scale of 1, and the y-axis could be labeled from 0 to 30,000 with a scale of 3,000.
To accurately represent the total number of picks for 1 day on the loom's graph, option B is suitable. The x-axis, denoting hours of operation, spans from 0 to 5 with a scale of 1, capturing the daily time frame.
The y-axis, representing total picks, extends from 0 to 30,000 with a scale of 3,000, accommodating the average of 100 picks per minute for 5 hours. This scale choice ensures a clear depiction of the loom's productivity throughout the day, facilitating a comprehensive visualization of the data and allowing for precise analysis of pick production trends over the specified time period.
Option B is correct.
The complete question is:
The speed of a loom used for making fabrics is measured in picks per minute. A loom averages 100 picks per minute and operates for 5 hours a day. The loom’s owner graphs the total number of picks for 1 day. If x represents the number of hours since the loom started, and y represents the total number of picks, which best represents the scales that would be used for the graph?
A. The x-axis could be labeled from 0 to 5 with a scale of 1, and the y-axis could be labeled from 0 to 100 with a scale of 10.
B. The x-axis could be labeled from 0 to 5 with a scale of 1, and the y-axis could be labeled from 0 to 30, 000 with a scale of 3, 000.
C. The x-axis could be labeled from 0 to 100 with a scale of 10, and the y-axis could be labeled from 0 to 5 with a scale of 1.
D. The x-axis could be labeled from 0 to 30, 000 with a scale of 3,000, and the y-axis could be labeled from 0 to 5 with a scale of 1.
