The horizontal axis being the kilometres, correct?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

|dw:1452656471000:dw| Can you please try an attempt, this is basically teaching you how to read a graph, can you take a guess?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

di I have to add?

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

Correct

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

9+7+3=19

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

The question asks, how many trails are less than 6 km long `OR` at least 24 km long. What you have chosen suggests greater than 6 km `but` less than 24 km long.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Did you take time to read the question 2-3 times and understand what it is about ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

For word problems like these, understanding the question correctly is 90% having the solution

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

would it be 5+9+7+3+4? i know is that I've barely slept because I had finals for 6 classes today plus college assignments to finish since I do both high school and college and im exhausted but I have to turn this in today

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

What does at least 24 km long mean?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Let me ask you a simple question

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

Sorry @ganeshie8 you may take over

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

something less than 24

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Ahh that is the problem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

at least 24km doesn't mean less than 24km

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Consider below statement : `You are at least 5 feet tall.` what does that mean ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

"You are at least 5 feet" means "You are 5 feet or more"

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

omg yes ! wow I sounded stupid now lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you can replace "at least 5 feet" with "5 feet or more"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at the histogram again. Which bars represent "at least 24 km" ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

As you can see, this problem is just about interpreting the data... nothing fancy math here..

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

|dw:1452657931802:dw| would you agree everything in green is at least 24 km long?
