Question

The total number of animals in five villages is as follows:

Village A: 80

Village B: 120

Village C: 90

Village D: 40

Village E: 60

Prepare a pictograph of these animals using one symbol ⊗ to represent 10 animals and answer the following questions:

1. How many symbols represent the animals of village E?
2. Which village has the maximum number of animals?
3. Which village has more animals: village A or village C?

Answer 1

We can draw the pictograph for the given data as shown below:

Village	Number of animals  ⊗ - 10 animals
Village A	⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗
Village B	⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗
Village C	⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗
Village D	⊗⊗⊗⊗
Village E	⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗

1. There are 60 animals in village E. So 6 symbols represent the animals of village E.
2. Village B has 120 animals which is the maximum number among these villages.
3. Village A has 80 animals and village C has 90 animals. Clearly, village C has more animals than village A.
