Let me carefully examine the bar graph and answer each question step by step.
First, I need to understand what the graph shows:
- The title is "Bar graph: Favorite pets"
- The vertical axis is "Points scored" from 0 to 12
- The horizontal axis shows four categories: Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fishes
- Each bar's height tells us how many points (or votes) each pet got
Let me read the heights of each bar:
- Dogs: bar reaches 10 points
- Cats: bar reaches 4 points
- Birds: bar reaches 12 points
- Fishes: bar reaches 8 points
Now I'll answer each question:
1) What kind of graph is this? → It's a bar graph (as stated in the title)
2) Which is the most favorite pet? → Birds have the highest bar at 12 points
3) Which is the least favorite pet? → Cats have the lowest bar at 4 points
4) How many dogs are there? → Dogs have 10 points, so 10 dogs
5) How many fishes are there? → Fishes have 8 points, so 8 fishes
6) How many cats are there? → Cats have 4 points, so 4 cats
Let me double-check by zooming in on the graph to confirm the exact values.
