Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the number of robberies in Year 5 and Year 3 from Graph A

From Robbery Counts Graph A:

Year 3: 200 robberies
Year 5: 250 robberies

Step 2: Calculate the ratio of robberies in Year 5 to Year 3

To find how many times as many robberies there were in Year 5 compared to Year 3, divide the number of robberies in Year 5 by the number of robberies in Year 3: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Robberies in Year 5}}{\text{Robberies in Year 3}} = \frac{250}{200} \]

Step 3: Simplify the ratio and round to two decimal places

\[ \text{Ratio} = 1.25 \]
