Jake buys a bag of popcorn at a movie theater. He eats half of the popcorn during the 15 minutes of previews. After eating half of the popcorn, he stops eating for the next 30 minutes. Then he gradually eats the popcorn until he accidentally spills all of the remaining popcorn. Which of the following graphs could represent the situation?
Correct answer: B. B
- A. A
- B. B
- C. C
- D. D
Explanation
Choice B is correct because it accurately follows the sequence of events described. Initially, Jake eats half of his popcorn, which is represented by a linear decrease from the starting point. Then, he stops eating for 30 minutes, depicted as a horizontal line where the amount of popcorn remains constant. Afterward, he continues to eat until he spills everything, shown by another linear decrease followed by a vertical drop to zero at the 90-minute mark. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they imply an increase in popcorn, which does not occur according to the story.
