|---|---|
| e.g. 5 × 25 (= 125) 10 × 10 × 3 (= 300) | M1 |
| Area from 55 to 90 is 5 × ‘25’ + 10 × 10 × 3 (= 425) | M1 |
| \(\dfrac{425}{1875}\) | A1 |

Notes
M1: for frequency found for any bar between 10 and 55 or between 55 and 90
M1: for a complete method to find the number of snails with lengths more than 55 mm
