Super Bubbles Patrick and SpongeBob love to blow bubbles! Patrick found some Super Bubble Soap at Sail-
Mart. The ads claim that Super Bubble Soap will produce bubbles that are twice as big as
bubbles made with regular bubble soap. Patrick and SpongeBob made up two samples of
bubble solution. One sample was made with 5 oz. of Super Bubble Soap and 5 oz. of water,
while the other was made with the same amount of water and 5 oz. of regular bubble soap.
Patrick and SpongeBob used their favorite bubble wands to blow 10 different bubbles and did
their best to measure the diameter of each one. The results are shown in the chart
