The bus driver made 6 stops on his way into town. no passengers exited the bus. by stop 3, there were 9 passengers on the bus. this graph shows this information. how many stops did it take to have 13 passengers on the bus? a: 2 b: 3 c: 4 d: 5

It took 4 stops, im guessing you probably shouldnt take my advice though

C: 4 stops . You can tell this by reading the graph, find where 13 is on the y-axis (the left side going up) to find number of passengers and then go across to find how many stops for 13 passengers. In this case you have to read whats not on the graph and realize that 13 passengers is between the 12 and 16 points, a quarter of the way up

Think of it as five or above give it a shove. change the 5 or above to the right to a zero and add one to the number on the left.
