How many cantaloupes weigh 8 pounds or less?

I added 2+4+6+8

Answer 6

No, the number of cantaloupes that are in the range of 1-2 pounds is 2

Answer 7

The number that are in the range of 3-4 pounds is 5

Answer 8

Do you see how I am getting those numbers?

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

The bar on the 1-2 range goes up to 2 on the left.

Which means that there are 2 cantaloupes that fall into that range.

Answer 12

I think it is up to the 8 line (make sure you are looking at the orange graph)

Answer 18

So my answer would be 8?

Answer 19

The number of cantaloupes in the range of 5-6 pounds is 8, but that is not the final answer.

Answer 20

How many cantaloupes are in the 7-8 pound range?

Answer 21

oh wait my answer is 2 right?

No, we haven't gotten to the final answer yet.

Answer 23

oh

Answer 24

We need to find the number of cantaloupes that are 8 pounds or less and subtract the number of watermelons that are 8 pounds or less.

Answer 25

So, how many cantaloupes are 8 pounds or less?

Answer 26

12

Answer 27

How did you get that?

Answer 28

6+4+2

Answer 29

Why did you add those numbers?

Answer 30

because they were less than 8

Answer 31

But those aren't the number of cantaloupes in each category.

Answer 32

oh the # of cantalopes is 30

Answer 33

*cantaloupes

Answer 34

How did you get that number?

Answer 35

added 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Answer 36

Why?

Answer 37

How many cantaloupes do we have in the 2-3 pound range?

IDK

Answer 39

The bar above that range goes up to 2 on the left (which indicates the number of cantaloupes in that category).

Answer 40

So, we have 2 cantaloupes that are between 2-3 pounds. Is that weight 8 pounds or less?
