Answer 15

this info confuses me: The following pie chart provides information about the country of manufacture for these models.

it is as if it's saying the chart shows the number of cars manufactured (supporting my answer)

Answer 16

IT just says it shows the country, it never said anything about what numbers. It says formally that it is measuring GAS MILEAGE...

Answer 17

The only thing the chart shows is where the cars came from. It cannot be used to answer any other kind of question.

Answer 18

yup, and we know it talks aobut gas miles.. )

Answer 19

it just says the gas mileage was measured...didnt say this graph represents those measurements...

Answer 20

"The gas mileage per gallon for 38 1998–99 model automobiles" <-- this information is extraneous; it just adds flavor and context to the situation, it doesn't provide information necessary to answering the question.

Answer 21

exactly...

Answer 22

>(

Answer 23

the graph shows the number of cars manufactured

Answer 24

now i remember why i chose B

Answer 25

no

Answer 26

"manufacture for these models." <--do you interpret this as gas mileage or the number of models manufactured?

Answer 27

neither.

Answer 28

IMO we don't have any info stating it's about #.. :(

Answer 29

well if it's not B, it's none of the choices given

Answer 30

the isntruction tells you it's about the number...

Answer 31

manufacture for models LITERALLY means models manufactured

Answer 32

how about this...you pick C...pass your homework then see if it's right...perhaps that will settle the disagreement

Answer 33

I guess it makes sense, I guess I was thinking of it as the US having a higher % of the car makings... But I guess that would be the amount as well...

Answer 34

They told you the number of vehicles, 38, so yes, higher % means higher number.
