Solution
Steps to draw the bar graph:
- In the centre of the graph paper, write the title "Exercises and time".
- Draw the X-axis and Y-axis, and mark O, their point of intersection.
- Write the type of exercise on the X-axis at equal distances.
- The time is taken on the Y-axis.
- Write the scale in the top right-hand corner i.e. 1 cm = 10 minutes on the Y-axis.
Here, `1 1/2` hours = 1 hour 30 minutes = 90 minutes, 1 hr 10 min = 70 minutes (1 hour = 60 minutes) - Draw a bar of the appropriate height above the type of each exercise on the X-axis.
