­The black line shows the value of currency X in terms of currency A and blue line shows value of currency X in terms of currency B.
So say on 8th April, the value of 1 unit of currency X is .126 units of currency A and the value of 1 unit of currency X is .122 units of currency B.

For the 12-week period shown in the graph, the greatest value of a unit of currency X expressed in units of currency A occurred around ___, and the greatest value of a unit of currency X expressed in units of currency B occurred around _____.

The black line is highest around 3-4th May and the blue line is highest around 1st June.

ANSWER: 4th May, 1st June

Given:
• The graph shows the history of the value of currency X in units of currency A and in units of currency B for the 12-week period beginning on 8 April.
• The graph has two plotted lines: one showing currency X’s value in terms of currency A and one showing currency X’s value in terms of currency B over time.

To Find:
• Blank 1: The approximate time when the greatest value of currency X expressed in units of currency A occurred
• Blank 2: The approximate time when the greatest value of currency X expressed in units of currency B occurred

Solution:
Approach:
• The y-axis label tells us that the graph shows the value of ONE unit of currency X in terms of currency A (blue line) as well as in terms of currency B (black line).
• For any line (blue/black), the highest point represents when currency X had the highest value in terms of currencies A/B.
• We will find this point visually and then just read the x-axis to get the date when it happens.

Blank 1:
• From the graph, the value of currency X in units of currency A (shown by the black line) reaches its highest point around early May.
• Among the given options (30 April, 4 May, 3 June), the peak occurs nearest 4 May.

Blank 2:
• From the graph, the value of currency X in units of currency B (shown by the blue line) reaches its highest point around late May/early June.
• Among the given choices (30 June, 1 June, 31 May), the peak occurs closest to 1 June.

Correct Answers: 4 May, 1 June
