Let me work through this bar graph problem step by step.
From the bar graph "Favourite Colour":
- Red: 8 children
- Blue: 7 children
- Green: 5 children
- Yellow: 9 children
- Pink: 6 children
Now let me solve each question:
1) Which is the least favourite color?
The shortest bar is green with 5 children. So green is the least favourite.
2) Which color has the greatest number of votes?
The tallest bar is yellow with 9 children. So yellow has the most votes.
3) How many children's favourite color is blue?
Blue = 7 children
4) How many children's favourite color is green and pink?
Green (5) + Pink (6) = 11 children
5) How many more children's favourite color is red than green?
Red (8) - Green (5) = 3 more children
6) How many votes does yellow have multiplied by 3?
Yellow = 9, so 9 × 3 = 27
7) What is the total number of votes?
8 + 7 + 5 + 9 + 6 = 35
Let me verify: 8+7=15, 15+5=20, 20+9=29, 29+6=35. Yes, 35 total.
Final Answer:
1) Green
2) Yellow
3) 7
4) 11
5) 3
6) 27
7) 35
