Bar Graph Overview:

The bar graph shows the favorite subjects of students at Edwards Elementary School. The x-axis represents the subjects, and the y-axis represents the number of students who chose each subject as their favorite.

Subjects:
- Social Studies
- Math
- Science
- ELA (English Language Arts)
- Others

Y-axis scale: from 0 to 80, increasing by increments of 10.

Now let’s analyze the height of each bar:

- Social Studies: Bar reaches 40
- Math: Bar reaches 70
- Science: Bar reaches 50
- ELA: Bar reaches 60
- Others: Bar reaches 20

Answering the Questions:

#### 1. What unit of scale is used to display the popularity of subjects among the students?

- The y-axis is labeled "Number of students" and increases in steps of 10.
- So, the unit of scale is 10 students per interval.

✔ Answer: 10 students

#### 2. Which subject is the second most popular?

- Let's rank the subjects by number of students:
- Math: 70 → Most popular
- ELA: 60 → Second most popular
- Science: 50
- Social Studies: 40
- Others: 20

✔ Answer: ELA

---

#### 3. Which subject is less popular, science or ELA?

- Science: 50 students
- ELA: 60 students

So, Science is less popular.

✔ Answer: Science

#### 4. Which subject is the favorite of 60 students?

- Look for the bar that reaches 60 on the y-axis.
- That bar corresponds to ELA.

✔ Answer: ELA

#### 5. Which subjects have the same number of votes?

- Check the values:
- Social Studies: 40
- Math: 70
- Science: 50
- ELA: 60
- Others: 20

No two bars have the same height. All values are different.

✔ Answer: None (or "No subjects have the same number of votes")

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. 10 students
2. ELA
3. Science
4. ELA
5. None

💡 Explanation Summary:

- We read the bar heights carefully to determine the number of students for each subject.
- We compared values to answer ranking and comparison questions.
- Since all bars have different heights, no two subjects received the same number of votes.
