Bar graph for amounts. Histogram for amounts over a certain amount of time.
the best graph to use to represent fractions is a pie graph, that is if all the fractions denominators are the same...
A bar graph would be the best graph or chart to use to compare and contrast information.

The answer depends on what the graph is meant to represent.
frequency table
to represent and compare datas to it.
You can only compare one variable at a time, not the relationship between two variables as you can do with a line graph or some bar graphs. You can only compare a few large categories, otherwise information is lost in visual clutter. More than 7 categories is not recommended.
In general, graphs compare two variables. A scatter plot can compare a third variable because the quantity of dots gives additional information from just the two axes. A color coded scatter plot can give even more information because each colored dot can be distinct. Adding more colors can ad more distinct categories. Color coding any type of graph, such as pie chart, bar graph or multi-line two axis graphs can also represent more than two distinct categories.
A bar graph is a graph that has vertical or horizontal bars to represent numbers. A bar graph is usually used to compare two different things with each other.
Bars in the context of a graph or chart represent data values or categories by using rectangular shapes of varying lengths or heights. Each bar typically corresponds to a specific data point or category, making it easier to visually compare and analyze the information presented.
The bars in a graph represent the data values for different categories or groups being compared. The height or length of each bar indicates the magnitude of the data for that category.
The graph that indicates what the bars or lines represent is called a "legend" or "key." It provides information about the data categories, units, or variables being represented in the graph. Legends help viewers understand the meaning of different colors, patterns, or symbols used in the graph, ensuring accurate interpretation of the data.
The best graph for the purpose of comparing raw numbers between different qualitative categories would be a bar graph or some variation thereof.
I would suggest a bar graph. Depending on the topic and how you want to show it you could also use a pie chart.
A bar graph
A point can represent a piece of data or an (x,y) value.
