Let's solve the problem step by step based on the information provided in the image.

Given Data:
The table shows the number of animals classified into each category:
| Animal Classification | Birds | Fish | Mammals | Reptiles |
|------------------------|-------|------|---------|----------|
| Count | 8 | 4 | 7 | 11 |
There are also pictures of animals, but they seem to be for visual reference and do not affect the data given in the table.
We need to:
1. Record this data in a bar graph.
2. Answer three questions.

Step 1: Drawing the Bar Graph
We will draw bars for each animal class with heights corresponding to their counts.
-
Birds: 8 → Draw a bar up to 8
-
Fish: 4 → Draw a bar up to 4
-
Mammals: 7 → Draw a bar up to 7
-
Reptiles: 11 → Draw a bar up to 11
*(Note: Since we can't draw here, you would fill in the grid by coloring or marking up to the correct number for each category.)*

Step 2: Answering the Questions
####
1. How many animals were classified?
Add all the animals together:
$$
\text{Total} = \text{Birds} + \text{Fish} + \text{Mammals} + \text{Reptiles}
$$
$$
= 8 + 4 + 7 + 11 = 30
$$
✔ Answer: 30 animals were classified.

####
2. How many mammals were classified more than the fish?
We compare the number of mammals and fish:
- Mammals: 7
- Fish: 4
Difference:
$$
7 - 4 = 3
$$
✔ Answer: 3 more mammals than fish.
---
####
3. How many birds and fish were classified?
Add birds and fish:
$$
8 + 4 = 12
$$
✔ Answer: 12 birds and fish were classified.

✔ Final Answers:
1.
30
2.
3
3.
12

📊 Summary:
- The data should be represented in the bar graph with:
- Birds: height 8
- Fish: height 4
- Mammals: height 7
- Reptiles: height 11
- These values are consistent with the numbers in the table and the images shown (e.g., peacock, eagle, owl — all birds; two fish, etc.).
