<u>Answer:</u>
The vertical axis should begin with 0 inches.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The vertical axis must start with 0 inches to ensure accuracy for the measures of every plant since 28% of the plants in the garden are under 6 inches.
If the vertical axis begins with 6 inches or above, we can miss a lot of the gardener's data, especially the plants which are under 6 inches.
Therefore, to ensure that the graph does not mislead any measures of the plant, the vertical axis must begin with 0 inches.
To solve this, you just divide 20 divided by 7.
20/7 = <span>2.85714285714
If you are trying to round to the nearest tenth, the next decimal place (hundredths) is a 5, so you must round 2.8 up one more digit.
Your final answer is that</span> 20/7 = 2.9 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
