Which of the following is a true statement regarding the information shown in the histogram?
C D
A scientist is studying the characteristics of butterflies
and collects a random sample of butterflies to measure.
Information regarding the wingspan of the butterflies is
shown in the histogram below.
Butterfly Wingspans
Wingspan is a categorical variable.
O Wingspan is a discrete quantitative variable.
O Wingspan is a continuous quantitative variable.
O Frequency is a continuous quantitative variable.

The wingspan of the moth is [tex]3\dfrac{1}{2}\ in[/tex] and the the wingspan of the butterfly is [tex]3\dfrac{1}{4}\ in.[/tex]
To find how many times larger is the moth than the butterfly you should divide the wingspan of the moth by the wingspan of the butterfly:
[tex]\dfrac{3\dfrac{1}{2} }{3\dfrac{1}{4} }=\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{2}}{\dfrac{13}{4}}=\dfrac{7}{2}\cdot \dfrac{4}{13}=\dfrac{7\cdot 4}{2\cdot 13}=\dfrac{14}{13}.[/tex]
the moth is larger [tex]\dfrac{14}{13}=1\dfrac{1}{13}[/tex] times.
the wingspan of drew's butterfly is 8 millimeters smaller than the wingspan of evelyn's butterfly
Step-by-step explanation:
drew's monarch butterfly is 94 mm wide because 10 x 9.4 = 94
evelyn's swallowtail buttefly is 102 mm wide so,
102 - 94 = 8
therefore, the answer is 8 .
67 millimeters is the wingspan in milli.
I believe they compare because both butterflies can have a wingspan of 3.5 in. Hope this helps
[tex]1\dfrac{1}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The wingspan of the butterfly : [tex]3\dfrac{1}{4}\text{ inches}=\dfrac{13}{4}\text{ inch}[/tex]
The length of moth = [tex]3\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ inches}=\dfrac{7}{2}\text{ inches}[/tex]
To find the number of times larger is the moth than the butterfly, we divide the length of moth by the wingspan of the butterfly as :_
[tex]\dfrac{7}{2}\div\dfrac{13}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{2}\times\dfrac{4}{13}=\dfrac{14}{13}=1\dfrac{1}{13}[/tex]
Hence, the moth is [tex]1\dfrac{1}{13}[/tex] times larger than the butterfly.

Explanation:
19/16< 15/8 one nine sixteenth is larger than one five eighths
1/1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe it's C. Wingspan is a continuous quantitative variable.
1 9/16 < 1 5/8 one nine sixteenths is larger than one five eighths
