Let's solve the problem step by step using the bar graph provided.

Step 1: Read the Bar Graph
The vertical axis (y-axis) shows the
number of ice creams sold, ranging from 0 to 40 in increments of 5.
The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the
days of the week from Monday to Sunday.
We will read the height of each bar to determine how many ice creams were sold on each day.

1. Complete the table
Let’s find the number of ice creams sold each day:
-
Monday: The bar reaches up to
10
-
Tuesday: The bar reaches up to
15
-
Wednesday: The bar reaches up to
10
-
Thursday: The bar reaches up to
25
-
Friday: The bar reaches up to
25
-
Saturday: The bar reaches up to
35
-
Sunday: The bar reaches up to
40
So, the completed table is:
| Day of the week | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday |
|------------------|--------|---------|-----------|----------|--------|----------|--------|
| Number of sold ice creams | 10 | 15 | 10 | 25 | 25 | 35 | 40 |

2. How many more ice creams were sold on Saturday compared to Wednesday?
- Saturday: 35
- Wednesday: 10
Difference = 35 - 10 =
25
✔ Answer: 25 more ice creams
---
3. Which day sold the lowest number of ice creams?
Looking at the numbers:
- Monday: 10
- Tuesday: 15
- Wednesday: 10
- Thursday: 25
- Friday: 25
- Saturday: 35
- Sunday: 40
Both
Monday and Wednesday have the lowest sales:
10 each.
But since the question asks for "which day", and both are equal, we can say:
✔ Answer: Monday and Wednesday (both sold the lowest)
(If only one answer is expected, either is acceptable.)

4. How many ice creams were sold on Monday and Wednesday?
- Monday: 10
- Wednesday: 10
Total = 10 + 10 =
20
✔ Answer: 20 ice creams
---
5. How many ice creams were sold on Thursday and Friday?
- Thursday: 25
- Friday: 25
Total = 25 + 25 =
50
✔ Answer: 50 ice creams
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. Table completed as above
2.
25 more ice creams sold on Saturday than Wednesday
3.
Monday and Wednesday sold the lowest
4.
20 ice creams sold on Monday and Wednesday
5.
50 ice creams sold on Thursday and Friday
