Combinatorics Difficulty 1.1 Junior Find the answer Canada

The graph shows the number of apples that each of five students
ate during a week.

Which student ate the greatest number of apples?

Pick one

Solution

Reading from the graph, Dae ate $6$ apples, Joe ate $3$ , Etta ate $5$ , Susie ate $4$ , and Vinh ate $1$ . Thus, Dae ate the greatest number of
apples.

(We may have simply noted that the person who ate the greatest number of
apples is the person with the ’highest bar’.)
