1. The problem asks: Using the Gantt chart above, how is the ACTUAL time shown? 2. A Gantt chart typically represents project schedules with horizontal bars. 3. The ACTUAL time in a Gantt chart is usually shown by the length or color of these horizontal bars. 4. Different colors can indicate planned vs. actual progress, but the actual time is most directly represented by the horizontal bars themselves. 5. Weeks and months are usually the time scale on the chart, not the actual time representation. 6. Therefore, the ACTUAL time is shown by the horizontal bars on the Gantt chart. Final answer: Horizontal Bars
