Question

The bar graph below shows the monthly demand and production figures (in units) of five T.V. companies, A, B, C, D and E.

The production of company D is how many times the production of company A?

• A. 1.8
• B. 1.5
• C. 2.5
• D. 1.11

Hint:

Divide company D's production value by company A's production value from the graph.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Read off the production figures.
From the graph, production of company D is 2700 units, and production of company A is 1500 units.

Step 2: Divide D's production by A's production.
Required multiple \( = \dfrac{2700}{1500} \).

Step 3: Simplify the fraction.
\( \dfrac{2700}{1500} = \dfrac{27}{15} = \dfrac{9}{5} = 1.8 \).

Final Answer:
Company D produces 1.8 times what company A produces. \[ \boxed{1.8} \]
