Question: The enrollments made in elementary schools and high schools from 1994 through 1998 is given in a double bar graph. Which year has the maximum difference between enrollments of high schools and elementary schools?
A ) 1995 B ) 1994 C ) 1996 D ) 1997
Steps to derive
1 The height of each bar in the graph indicates the number of students (in thousands) enrolled in the particular year.
2 The difference between the enrollments in the year 1994 = 19,000 - 17,000 = 2,000
3 The difference between the enrollments in the year 1995 = 17,000 - 15,000 = 2,000
4 The difference between the enrollments in the year 1996 = 16,000 - 15,000 = 1,000
5 The difference between the enrollments in the year 1997 = 19,000 - 16,000 = 3,000
6 The difference between the enrollments in the year 1998 = 18,000 - 17,000 = 1,000
7 So, the maximum difference between the enrollment of high schools and elementary schools is in the year 1997.
