Based on the tables showing the hours of homework done by Marco and Maribella for different periods of time, which statement is correct?
(1 point)
The statement "Maribella consistently spends more time on homework than Marco" is correct.
Looking at the tables, we can compare the number of hours of homework done by Marco and Maribella for different periods of time.
Comparing the first set of data for 3 days, Marco did 3.25 hours of homework, while Maribella did 4.2 hours.
Comparing the second set of data for 9 days, Marco did 9.75 hours of homework, while Maribella did 8.4 hours.
Comparing the third set of data for 12 days, Marco did 13.0 hours of homework, while Maribella did 21.0 hours.
Comparing the fourth set of data for 30 days, Marco did 32.5 hours of homework, while Maribella did 29.4 hours.
Based on this information, we can see that Maribella did more hours of homework than Marco in the second and third set of data. Therefore, the correct statement is:
Maribella did more hours of homework than Marco for some periods of time.
To determine which statement is correct based on the tables, we need to analyze the data and compare the hours of homework done by Marco and Maribella for different periods of time.
Looking at Marco's table, we see that as the number of days increases, the number of hours also increases. For example, when Marco studied for 3 days, he did 3.25 hours of homework, and when he studied for 30 days, he did 32.5 hours of homework.
Similarly, looking at Maribella's table, we observe that as the number of days increases, the number of hours also increases. For instance, when Maribella studied for 4 days, she did 4.2 hours of homework, and when she studied for 28 days, she did 29.4 hours of homework.
Now, let's compare the data for the same number of days between Marco and Maribella.
For 3 days, Marco did 3.25 hours of homework, while Maribella did not have data for this period.
For 4 days, Marco did not have data, but Maribella did 4.2 hours of homework.
For 8 days, Marco did not have data, but Maribella did 8.4 hours of homework.
For 9 days, Marco did 9.75 hours of homework, while Maribella did not have data.
Based on this comparison, we can conclude that neither Marco nor Maribella has data for the same number of days. Therefore, we cannot determine which statement is correct based on the given tables.
