Answer 2

Answer:

  Each strawberry contains 4 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph crosses the vertical line for 1 strawberry above the intersection with the horizontal line for 3, so there are more than 3 calories in 1 strawberry. The graph crosses "strawberries = 1" at about "calories = 4", matching the first statement.

Similarly, the graph crosses the vertical line for 4 strawberries above the horizontal line for 15 calories. An estimate of 16 calories for 4 strawberries is consistent with the first statement (4 calories in each strawberry).

The point (6, 24) is on the graph, but it means (6 strawberries, 24 calories), not the other way around.

The appropriate choice is ...

  Each strawberry contains 4 calories
