Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 5\)

\(\displaystyle 3\)

\(\displaystyle 4\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 5\)

Explanation:

We have \(\displaystyle 15\) pencils. If we take \(\displaystyle 10\) away that means we are subtracting. 

\(\displaystyle 15-10=5\)

Example Question #182 : Data Analysis

Look at the chart below. If we add \(\displaystyle 9\) more pens, how many pens will we have?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 18\)

\(\displaystyle 16\)

\(\displaystyle 17\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 16\)

Explanation:

There are \(\displaystyle 7\) pens. If we add \(\displaystyle 9\) more pens we will have \(\displaystyle 16\) pens. 

\(\displaystyle 7+9=16\)

How many students have \(\displaystyle 6\) stuffed animals? 

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 5\)

\(\displaystyle 7\)

\(\displaystyle 4\)

\(\displaystyle 6\)

\(\displaystyle 3\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 5\)

Explanation:

Using the bar graph, we look for the bar that is for \(\displaystyle 6\) stuffed animals, which is the sixth one from the left. That bar has \(\displaystyle 5\) boxes in it, which means \(\displaystyle 5\) students have \(\displaystyle 6\) stuffed animals. 

Example Question #184 : Data Analysis

Mr. Ray's class created a bar graph to show the number of stuffed animals each student has at home.

How many students have \(\displaystyle 10\) stuffed animals? 

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 3\)

\(\displaystyle 2\)

\(\displaystyle 1\)

\(\displaystyle 0\)

\(\displaystyle 4\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 2\)

Explanation:

Using the bar graph, we look for the bar that is for \(\displaystyle 10\) stuffed animals, which is the last bar from the left. That bar has \(\displaystyle 2\) boxes in it, which means \(\displaystyle 2\) students have \(\displaystyle 10\) stuffed animals.

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 12\)

\(\displaystyle 11\)

\(\displaystyle 9\)

\(\displaystyle 4\)

\(\displaystyle 6\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 12\)

Explanation:

Each square represents \(\displaystyle 3\) students. Mr. Ray's bar has \(\displaystyle 4\) squares in it. That means we can take \(\displaystyle 3\times 4\) to find our total. 

\(\displaystyle 3\times4=12\)

\(\displaystyle 18\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 15\)

Explanation:

Each square represents \(\displaystyle 3\) students. Ms. Smith's bar has \(\displaystyle 5\) squares in it. That means we can take \(\displaystyle 3\times 5\) to find our total. 

\(\displaystyle 3\times5=15\)

How many more students have a pet in Mr. Ray's class than Ms. Miller's class? 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 1\)

\(\displaystyle 6\)

\(\displaystyle 4\)

\(\displaystyle 3\)

\(\displaystyle 7\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 3\)

Each square represents \(\displaystyle 3\) students. Mr. Ray's bar has \(\displaystyle 4\) squares in it, which means he has \(\displaystyle 12\) students with pets (\(\displaystyle 3\times4=12\)). Ms. Milers bar has \(\displaystyle 3\) squares in it, which means she has \(\displaystyle 9\) students with pets (\(\displaystyle 3\times3=9\)). 

To find the difference we subtract. 

\(\displaystyle 12-9=3\)
