Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the number of assaults in Year 1 and Year 3 from Graph A

From Graph A:

Year 1: 250 assaults
Year 3: 270 assaults

Step 2: Calculate the ratio of assaults in Year 3 to Year 1

To find how many times as many assaults there were in Year 3 compared to Year 1, divide the number of assaults in Year 3 by the number of assaults in Year 1: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Assaults in Year 3}}{\text{Assaults in Year 1}} = \frac{270}{250} \]

Step 3: Perform the division and round the result to 2 decimal places

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{270}{250} = 1.08 \]
