Question

Total number of animals in five villages are as follows:

Village A: 80

Villages 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:

(a) How many symbols represent animals of village E?

(b) Which village has the maximum number of animals?

(c) Which village has more animals: village A or village C?

Answer 1

The pictograph for the given data can be drawn as follows.

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

(a) 6 symbols will represent animals of village E as there were 60 animals in this village.

(b) Village B has the maximum number of animals i.e., 120.

(c) Village A and C have 80 and 90 animals in it. Clearly, Village C has more animals.
