A total number of animals in five villages are 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:
(a) How many symbols represent animals of village E?
(b) Which village has the maximum number of animals?
(c) Which village have more animals: village A or village C?
We can prepare the pictograph of the given data as follows:
VILLAGE | NO. OF ANIMALS (⊗ = 10 ANIMALS) |
Village A | ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ |
Village B | ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ |
Village C | ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ |
Village D | ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ |
Village E | ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ ⊗ |
(a) Here,
We know that,
⊗ = 10 animals
And, it is given that, Village E has 60 animals
Hence, 6 symbols (⊗) will represent the animals of village E
(b) We can see that,
Maximum numbers of symbols (⊗) are there in the section of village B
And,
⊗ = 10 animals
Hence, Village B has a maximum number of animals.
It has 10 × 12 = 120 animals.
(c) We can observe that,
Village A has 8 symbols (⊗)
And, Village C has 9 symbols (⊗)
Now, we know that,
⊗ = 10 animals
Therefore, Village A has 80 animals
And, Village C has 90 animals
Clearly, village C has more animals in it.
