Question

you are the supervisor of a fishery. the owner of the fishery wants to know how his facility has been performing over the past 5 years. use the data below to create the appropriate graph to represent the number of fish hatched in the last 5 years.
year # of fish
2019 3,516
2020 1,112
2021 4,983
2022 7,521
2023 4,921
after analyzing the graph you created, what is the overall trend of fish hatching? which year had the greatest increase in fish hatching? type your answers below.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the increase in fish - hatching for each year

For 2020: $1112 - 3516=- 2404$ (a decrease)
For 2021: $4983 - 1112 = 3871$
For 2022: $7521 - 4983 = 2538$
For 2023: $4921 - 7521=-2600$ (a decrease)

Step2: Compare the increases

We have increases of 3871 (in 2021), 2538 (in 2022). Since $3871>2538$, the greatest increase occurred in 2021.

Answer:

2021
