📝 6. Open-Ended Questions
1. Imagine a bar graph titled 'Favorite Fruits'. The categories are Apple, Banana, Orange, and Grape. The bar for Apple goes up to 7. The bar for Banana goes up to 5. The bar for Orange goes up to 9. The bar for Grape goes up to 4. Which fruit is the most favorite, and how many people chose it?
💡 Solution Steps:
To find the most favorite fruit, we need to look for the tallest bar on the graph. The bar for Orange goes up to 9, which is the highest number. Therefore, Orange is the most favorite fruit, and 9 people chose it.
2. Consider a pictograph titled 'Number of Books Read'. The categories are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Monday has 3 book pictures. Tuesday has 2 book pictures. Wednesday has 4 book pictures. Thursday has 1 book picture. The key says: Each book picture represents 2 actual books. How many actual books were read on Wednesday?
💡 Solution Steps:
First, find the number of book pictures for Wednesday, which is 4. Next, look at the key to see what each picture represents. The key says each book picture represents 2 actual books. To find the total number of books read on Wednesday, multiply the number of pictures by the value of each picture: \(4 \times 2 = 8\). So, 8 actual books were read on Wednesday.
3. Using the 'Favorite Fruits' bar graph from Question 1 (Apple: 7, Banana: 5, Orange: 9, Grape: 4), how many more people chose Apple than Grape?
💡 Solution Steps:
First, find the number of people who chose Apple, which is 7. Next, find the number of people who chose Grape, which is 4. To find out how many more people chose Apple than Grape, subtract the smaller number from the larger number: \(7 - 4 = 3\). So, 3 more people chose Apple than Grape.
