How many more vervets are in this sanctuary than mandrills?

A.

$6$

B.

$5$

C.

$3$

D.

$11$

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. It's given that the bar graph shows the number of each type of monkey in a sanctuary. The bar representing the number of mandrills has a height of 5 ; therefore, there are 5 mandrills in the sanctuary. The bar representing vervets has a height of 11 ; therefore, there are 11 vervets in the sanctuary. Therefore, there are 11 - 5 , or 6 , more vervets in this sanctuary than mandrills. Choice A is incorrect. This is the number of vervets in the sanctuary. Choice C is incorrect. This is the number of mandrills in the sanctuary. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
