Bar Graphs 3rd Grade - Free Printable

Let’s solve each question step by step using the bar graph and the table provided.

---

1) Fill in the missing data in the table for Quadra and Captain.

Look at the bar graph:

- Quadra’s bar (orange) ends at 12 on the “Number of Bugs Eaten” axis → So Quadra ate 12 bugs.
- Captain’s bar (blue) ends at 15 → So Captain ate 15 bugs.

✔ Answer:
- Quadra: 12
- Captain: 15

2) Draw a bar to show how many bugs Newton ate.

From the table, Newton ate 7 bugs.

On the bar graph, you would draw a bar (likely green, matching Newton’s color key) that extends to 7 on the x-axis.

*(Since this is text-based, I can’t draw it, but you would draw a green bar from 0 to 7 on the number line.)*

3) Which salamander ate the most bugs?

Look at the longest bar or highest number in the table:

- Tyger: 16 ← highest
- Captain: 15
- Frazer: 14
- Quadra: 12
- Newton: 7
- Sally: 6

✔ Answer: Tyger

---

4) How many more bugs did Quadra eat than Sally?

Quadra = 12
Sally = 6
Difference = 12 - 6 = 6

✔ Answer: 6

---

5) How many more bugs did Tyger eat than Newton?

Tyger = 16
Newton = 7
Difference = 16 - 7 = 9

✔ Answer: 9

---

6) Captain ate more bugs than Sally and Quadra put together. Is this true or false?

Sally + Quadra = 6 + 12 = 18
Captain = 15

Is 15 > 18? ✘ No.

✔ Answer: False

7) Which 2 salamanders ate exactly 20 bugs altogether?

We need to find two salamanders whose bug counts add up to 20.

Check combinations:

- Quadra (12) + Sally (6) = 18 ✘
- Quadra (12) + Newton (7) = 19 ✘
- Quadra (12) + Frazer (14) = 26 ✘
- Quadra (12) + Captain (15) = 27 ✘
- Quadra (12) + Tyger (16) = 28 ✘
- Sally (6) + Newton (7) = 13 ✘
- Sally (6) + Frazer (14) = 20 ✔
- Sally (6) + Captain (15) = 21 ✘
- Sally (6) + Tyger (16) = 22 ✘
- Newton (7) + Frazer (14) = 21 ✘
- Newton (7) + Captain (15) = 22 ✘
- Newton (7) + Tyger (16) = 23 ✘
- Frazer (14) + Captain (15) = 29 ✘
- Frazer (14) + Tyger (16) = 30 ✘
- Captain (15) + Tyger (16) = 31 ✘

✔ Only Sally (6) + Frazer (14) = 20

✔ Answer: Sally and Frazer

## ✔ Final Answers:

1) Quadra: 12, Captain: 15
2) Draw a bar for Newton to 7 (green bar)
3) Tyger
4) 6
5) 9
6) False
7) Sally and Frazer
