Problem Analysis:
The image provided is a
pictograph titled "Favorite Pets." A pictograph uses symbols or images to represent data. In this case, each pet (dog, cat, fish, bunny) is represented by an image, and the key indicates that
each pet = 1.
We need to answer six questions based on the information in the pictograph.

Step-by-Step Solution:
####
1. What is the title of the graph?
The title of the graph is clearly written at the top of the image:
"Favorite Pets"
####
2. How many dogs are there?
- In the row labeled "Dog," there are
7 dog images.
- Since each dog image represents 1 pet, the total number of dogs is:
\[
7
\]
####
3. How many cats are there?
- In the row labeled "Cat," there are
3 cat images.
- Since each cat image represents 1 pet, the total number of cats is:
\[
3
\]
####
4. How many pets are there altogether?
To find the total number of pets, we sum the number of each type of pet:
- Dogs: 7
- Cats: 3
- Fish: 5 (from the row labeled "Fish")
- Bunnies: 5 (from the row labeled "Bunny")
Adding these together:
\[
7 + 3 + 5 + 5 = 20
\]
####
5. How many more dogs than cats are there?
- Number of dogs: 7
- Number of cats: 3
- Difference:
\[
7 - 3 = 4
\]
####
6. Which animal was liked the most?
To determine which animal was liked the most, we compare the counts of each type of pet:
- Dogs: 7
- Cats: 3
- Fish: 5
- Bunnies: 5
The highest count is for
dogs with 7 pets.
