Problem Analysis:
The worksheet provides a pictograph showing the number of cars Mr. James repaired each day last week. Each symbol (car icon) represents 6 cars. We need to answer six questions based on this data.
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
1. How many cars did Mr. James repair on Monday?
- From the pictograph, on Monday, there are
3 car icons.
- Each car icon represents
6 cars.
- Total cars repaired on Monday = \( 3 \times 6 = 18 \).
Answer: 18 cars

- Monday: 3 icons
- Tuesday: 5 icons
- Wednesday: 2 icons
- Thursday: 7 icons
- Friday: 5 icons
- Saturday: 5 icons
- Sunday: 0 icons

3. Did he repair 30 cars on Wednesday?
- On Wednesday, there are
2 car icons.
- Each car icon represents
6 cars.
- Total cars repaired on Wednesday = \( 2 \times 6 = 12 \).
- Since 12 is not equal to 30, the answer is
no.
Answer: No

5. How many cars did he repair on Friday and Saturday?
- On Friday, there are
5 car icons.
- On Saturday, there are
5 car icons.
- Total cars repaired on Friday = \( 5 \times 6 = 30 \).
- Total cars repaired on Saturday = \( 5 \times 6 = 30 \).
- Combined total for Friday and Saturday = \( 30 + 30 = 60 \).
Answer: 60 cars

####
6. How much more cars did he repair on Thursday than Wednesday?
- On Thursday, there are
7 car icons.
- On Wednesday, there are
2 car icons.
- Cars repaired on Thursday = \( 7 \times 6 = 42 \).
- Cars repaired on Wednesday = \( 2 \times 6 = 12 \).
