Let me work through this step by step.
Step 1: Understand the data
The table shows:
- Chickens: 30
- Cows: 10
- Pigs: 15
- Sheep: 20
- Dogs: 5
Step 2: Plan the bar graph
I need to create a bar graph with:
- A title
- Labeled axes (x-axis for animal types, y-axis for number)
- A scale on the y-axis
- Bars for each animal type showing their quantities
Step 3: Determine the scale
The highest number is 30 (chickens), so the y-axis should go at least to 30. I'll use increments of 5 or 10 for clarity. Let's use increments of 5: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
Step 4: Create the bars
- Chickens bar: goes up to 30
- Cows bar: goes up to 10
- Pigs bar: goes up to 15
- Sheep bar: goes up to 20
- Dogs bar: goes up to 5
Step 5: Verify my work
Let me double-check the heights:
- Chickens = 30 ✓
- Cows = 10 ✓
- Pigs = 15 ✓
- Sheep = 20 ✓
- Dogs = 5 ✓
All values match the table correctly.

Final Answer:
To complete the bar graph:
1.
Title: Write "Animals on Farmer Ted's Farm" at the top
2.
X-axis label: Write "Type of Animal" along the bottom
3.
Y-axis label: Write "Number of Animals" along the left side
4.
Scale on Y-axis: Mark numbers 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 going up the left side
5.
Draw the bars:
- First bar (Chickens): Draw a bar reaching up to 30
- Second bar (Cows): Draw a bar reaching up to 10
- Third bar (Pigs): Draw a bar reaching up to 15
- Fourth bar (Sheep): Draw a bar reaching up to 20
- Fifth bar (Dogs): Draw a bar reaching up to 5
6.
Label each bar: Write the animal name under each bar (Chickens, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Dogs)
