Explanations

1. First, locate Michael Phelps on the chart. The second column shows how many medals he won overall (8). The fourth column shows which medals he won; gold is listed first, then silver, and then bronze.

2. The second column shows how many medals each athlete has won overall. Find the row with the number 8 or higher. Now count the number of athletes with "USA" by their name.

3. After locating Usain Bolt on the chart, look for the column with the gold, silver, and bronze medal count. By the order of the numbers, we know that

Usian Bolt won 3 gold medals, 0 silver medals, and 0 bronze medals for a total of 3 medals overall.

4. After locating Cheng Fei on the chart, find the column that lists the events. The information for Cheng Fei as a gymnast is listed under the heading labeled "Events."

5. If you look at the chart, under the section labeled "Round Number," the reader can find information about the found in which the fight ended, and if the reader looks under the section labeled "Event," he or she can find information about which event in which the fight took place. In UFC 54,

Jeremy Horn fought Chuck Liddell well into the 4th round. Of the other fights listed on the chart, the fight with Horn took the longest for Chuck Liddell to win. All of his other fights ended in the first, second, or third rounds. This information shows that Jeremy Horn was Chuck Liddell's longest fight at this point in his record—it took Liddell longer to beat Horn than it did the other opponents on this chart.

6. Looking under the section labeled "Opponent," the reader can find the person Chuck Liddell fought. Two opponents appear on the record twice:

Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz. Of the opponents named in the answer choices, only Randy Couture is mentioned.

7. If you look at the chart, under the section labeled "Result," the reader can find information about the result of the Iceman's fights, and if the reader looks under the section labeled "Opponent," the reader can find out who won. Each entry reads "Win" with the exception of "Quinton Jackson." That entry reads "Loss."

8. Find the word "May" on the chart. The Brewers won the least games during the month of May (9 games).

9. Find the word "Total" on the chart. The Reds won the most games during the season (90 games).

10. Find the "July" on the chart. The Cubs and Pirates both won 15 games during the month of July. The question asks, "How many more games did the Pirates win than the Cubs during the month of July?" The Pirates and

Cubs won the same amount of games, so the Pirates won zero (0) more games than the Cubs.
