Let's solve the problem step by step using the bar graph titled
"Favorite Pet".
Step 1: Understand the Bar Graph
The bar graph shows the number of votes each pet received. The vertical axis (y-axis) represents the number of votes (from 0 to 7), and the horizontal axis (x-axis) lists the pets:
Dog, Cat, Snake, Mouse, Hamster.
We’ll read the height of each bar to determine the number of votes.
