How many months of the year was this? Name the months in your answer.

2. Using the chart, what is the probability of any month having an average temperature below 6°C?

Task B

1. In the first 4 weeks in your job you worked Monday to Friday. There were 12 days when you used the bus. On the other days you travelled to work by motorcycle.

What was the ratio of using the bus compared to using the motorcycle? Show this ratio in its simplest form.

2. You are at work for 6 hours a day. You also spend time travelling to and from work.
