Problem:

You are given a table showing the number of different animals on Farmer Ted’s farm. Your task is to create a bar graph using this data.

#### Given Data:

| Animals | Number |
|-----------|--------|
| Chickens | 30 |
| Cows | 10 |
| Pigs | 15 |
| Sheep | 20 |
| Dogs | 5 |

---

Step-by-Step Solution:

We need to create a bar graph that visually represents the number of each animal.

---

Step 1: Title the Graph

The title should describe what the graph is showing.

✔ Title: *Number of Animals on Farmer Ted's Farm*

---

Step 2: Label the Axes

- Horizontal (x-axis): This will show the types of animals.
- Labels: Chickens, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Dogs

- Vertical (y-axis): This will show the number of animals.
- Since the highest number is 30, we need to set a scale that goes up to at least 30.

---

Step 3: Provide a Scale

Choose a scale for the y-axis that fits the data and the grid.

- The graph has 10 rows of squares (from bottom to top).
- Maximum value = 30
- So, each square can represent 3 animals (since 10 squares × 3 = 30)

✔ Scale: Each unit on the y-axis = 3 animals
So:
- 0 → bottom
- 3 → first line
- 6 → second line
- ...
- 30 → top

Label the y-axis with numbers: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

---

Step 4: Draw the Bars

Now draw bars for each animal based on their count:

| Animal | Number | Height in Units (each unit = 3) |
|----------|--------|-------------------------------|
| Chickens | 30 | 30 ÷ 3 = 10 units (full height) |
| Cows | 10 | 10 ÷ 3 ≈ 3.33 units → round to nearest whole? But since we're drawing, we can use exact proportions or estimate. Let's use 3 full squares and a little extra (but if only whole squares, maybe go to 3 or 4). Better to be precise.

Wait — let’s think again.

Since each square = 3 animals, then:

- Chickens: 30 → 30 ÷ 3 = 10 squares → full height
- Cows: 10 → 10 ÷ 3 ≈ 3.33 squares → so about 3 full squares and 1/3 of the next
- Pigs: 15 → 15 ÷ 3 = 5 squares
- Sheep: 20 → 20 ÷ 3 ≈ 6.67 squares → 6 full + 2/3
- Dogs: 5 → 5 ÷ 3 ≈ 1.67 squares → 1 full + 2/3

But since it's a worksheet, you might be expected to use whole squares or estimate.

Alternatively, adjust scale: use each square = 5 animals, but then 30 would require 6 squares, which may not fit if the grid is only 10 squares tall.

Let’s check the grid: it appears to have 10 vertical lines, meaning 10 squares high.

So maximum possible bar height = 10 squares.

Let’s try a better scale:

Try: Each square = 3 animals

- Max value: 30 → 30 ÷ 3 = 10 squares → perfect!

So:

| Animal | Count | Squares High |
|----------|-------|--------------|
| Chickens | 30 | 10 |
| Cows | 10 | 3.33 |
| Pigs | 15 | 5 |
| Sheep | 20 | 6.67 |
| Dogs | 5 | 1.67 |

Now draw bars accordingly:

- Chickens: Fill all 10 squares
- Cows: Fill 3 full squares and shade 1/3 of the 4th
- Pigs: Fill 5 squares
- Sheep: Fill 6 full squares and 2/3 of the 7th
- Dogs: Fill 1 full square and 2/3 of the 2nd

(On paper, you’d draw these bars aligned with the x-axis labels.)

Final Steps:

✔ Title: *Number of Animals on Farmer Ted's Farm*
✔ X-axis label: *Type of Animal*
✔ Y-axis label: *Number of Animals*
✔ Scale: Each square = 3 animals
✔ Bars drawn as described above

Summary of Bar Graph Features:

- Title: Number of Animals on Farmer Ted's Farm
- X-axis: Chickens, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Dogs
- Y-axis: 0 to 30 in increments of 3 (0, 3, 6, ..., 30)
- Bars:
- Chickens: 10 squares high
- Cows: ~3.33 squares high
- Pigs: 5 squares high
- Sheep: ~6.67 squares high
- Dogs: ~1.67 squares high

✔ Final Answer:

You have now completed the bar graph by:
1. Titling the graph
2. Labeling both axes
3. Providing a scale (each square = 3 animals)
4. Drawing bars proportional to the data

This visual representation clearly shows that chickens are the most numerous, followed by sheep, pigs, cows, and dogs.
