Understanding the Gems and Jewellery Export Data
The question asks us to analyze a bar diagram that shows the export of gems and jewellery in the year 1991-1992. Specifically, we need to compare the export value to Hong Kong with the export value to Germany and find out how many times larger the export to Hong Kong is compared to Germany.
A bar diagram represents data using bars of different heights or lengths. To answer this question, we need to read the height of the bars corresponding to Hong Kong and Germany on the diagram.
Identifying Export Values from the Bar Diagram
Based on the bar diagram:
To find out how many times the export to Hong Kong is compared to the export to Germany, we need to divide the export value to Hong Kong by the export value to Germany:
Ratio = (Export to Hong Kong) / (Export to Germany)
Ratio = 10.6 / 1.1
Calculating the value:
10.6 ÷ 1.1 ≈ 9.636
The question asks for an approximate value. 9.636 is approximately 10.
The export to Hong Kong is approximately 9.6 times the export to Germany. Without specific options provided in the image, we round to the nearest integer or typical approximate value. In this case, 9.6 is closer to 10 than 9.
The final answer is
9.6, which approximates to 10.
Comparing with Options
We calculated the ratio to be 10. Let's check the given options:
- Option 1: 8
- Option 2: 9
- Option 3: 10
- Option 4: 11
Our calculated value, 10, matches Option 3.
Conclusion
Based on the bar diagram and our calculations, the export of gems and jewellery to Hong Kong in 1991-1992 is approximately 10 times the export to Germany in the same year.
Additional Information
Reading Bar Diagrams: Bar diagrams are visual representations of data. Each bar represents a category, and the height (or length) of the bar corresponds to the value of that category. To read a value, find the top of the bar for the category you are interested in and trace horizontally to the axis that represents the values.
Calculating Ratios: A ratio is a way to compare two quantities. If you want to know how many times one quantity is larger than another, you divide the first quantity by the second. In this case, we divided the export to Hong Kong by the export to Germany to see how many times larger the Hong Kong export was.
Approximate Values: The question uses the word "approximately". This is important when reading data from graphs, as the values might not always align perfectly with the grid lines.
