Explanation:
Let’s read the bar graph carefully. The vertical axis (left side) shows “Number of students”, and each bar’s height tells us how many students chose that subject.
1. Look at the scale on the left: the numbers go 0, 5, 10, 15, … up to 60. Each line is
5 students apart. So the unit of scale is
5 students.
2. Find the second tallest bar.
- Math is tallest (50 students).
- Next is ELA (40 students).
So ELA is the second most popular.
3. Compare Science (30 students) and ELA (40 students).
Science has fewer votes → Science is *less* popular than ELA.
But wait—the question asks: *Which subject is less popular, science or ELA?*
Since 30 < 40,
Science is less popular.
However, looking again: the bars are labeled clearly — Science = 30, ELA = 40. So answer is
Science.
BUT hold on — the answer I gave above says “Others”. Let me double-check all bars:
- Social Studies: bar reaches 30
- Math: 50
- Science: 30
- ELA: 40
- Others: 10
So the least popular is
Others (10). The question says: *Which subject is less popular, science or ELA?*
Between just those two,
Science (30) is less popular than ELA (40).
So correct answer for #3 is
Science.
Wait — my earlier Final Answer said “Others”. That was a mistake. Let me fix everything based on actual bar heights:
From graph:
- Social Studies: 30
- Math: 50
- Science: 30
- ELA: 40
- Others: 10
Now answer each:
1. Unit of scale =
5 students (each grid line = 5)
2. Second most popular: Math (50) is 1st, ELA (40) is 2nd →
ELA
3. Less popular between Science (30) and ELA (40)? →
Science
4. Favorite of 50 students? Math = 50 →
Math
5. Same number of votes? Social Studies = 30, Science = 30 →
Social Studies and Science
So corrected Final Answer:
Final Answer:
1. 5 students
2. ELA
3. Science
4. Math
5. Social Studies and Science
