Juan made the following bar graph shown to represent the relative distances of four different astronomical bodies from Earth.

The title of the bar graph is Distance of Bodies in Space from Earth. Four bars are labeled A, B, C, and D. Bar C is the shortest. Bar D is about three times the size of bar C. Bar A is about six times the size of bar C. Bar B is about eight times the size of bar C.

If D represents Mars, which of the following could be represented by B and C?

B could be the moon, and C could be the sun.

B could be the sun, and C could be the moon.

B could be the sun, and C could be planet Uranus.

B could be the moon, and C could be planet Uranus.

The answer is: B could be the sun, and C could be the moon.

Logically, you can solve for this by considering first the astronomical bodies mentioned. We have the sun, Uranus, Mars, and the moon.

Next is we consider the sizes of the bar graphs. It states there that BAR C is the shortest. So automatically, we can say that BAR C is the moon, because among all the astronomical bodies mentioned in the choices, the moon is the closest body to the Earth.

With that alone, we can say that the 2nd statement would be the only one correct.
