Let’s go step by step to solve each question based on the bar graph.
The graph is titled “Bar graph: Favorite pets” and shows “Points scored” for four types of pets: Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fishes.
We read the height of each bar to find how many points (or votes) each pet got:
-
Dogs: The bar goes up to 10 → so 10 points
-
Cats: The bar goes up to 4 → so 4 points
-
Birds: The bar goes up to 12 → so 12 points
-
Fishes: The bar goes up to 8 → so 8 points
Now let’s answer each question:
---
1) What kind of graph is this?
It says right at the top: “Bar graph”. So it’s a
bar graph.
2) Which is the most favorite pet?
Look for the tallest bar → that’s
Birds with 12 points.
3) Which is the least favorite pet?
Look for the shortest bar → that’s
Cats with 4 points.
4) How many dogs are there?
Wait — the graph doesn’t show actual numbers of animals. It shows “points scored”, which likely means how many people chose that pet as their favorite. But since the question says “how many dogs are there?”, and in context of the graph, we assume it’s asking for the point value for dogs →
10
Same logic applies to questions 5 and 6.
5) How many fishes are there? → Bar for Fishes =
8
6) How many cats are there? → Bar for Cats =
4
Note: Even though the wording says “how many... are there?”, in this context, it’s referring to the score/number of votes shown in the bar graph. We’re not counting real animals — just reading the graph values.

Final Answer:
1) Bar graph
2) Birds
3) Cats
4) 10
5) 8
6) 4
