Let’s solve this step by step using the bar chart.
First, look at each fruit and how tall its bar is — that tells us how many kids liked it.
-
Oranges: The orange bar goes up to 6 → So, 6 kids liked oranges.
-
Bananas: The banana bar goes up to 2 → So, 2 kids liked bananas.
-
Pears: The pear bar goes up to 3 → So, 3 kids liked pears.
-
Apples: The apple bar goes up to 4 → So, 4 kids liked apples.
Now let’s answer each question:
1.
How many kids liked apples?
→ Look at the red apple bar. It reaches 4.
✔ Answer: 4
2.
Which fruit did the most kids like?
→ Compare all the numbers:
Oranges = 6, Bananas = 2, Pears = 3, Apples = 4
The biggest number is 6 → Oranges
✔ Answer: Oranges
3.
Which fruit did the kids like the least?
→ Smallest number is 2 → Bananas
✔ Answer: Bananas
4.
How many kids liked bananas?
→ We already saw: banana bar = 2
✔ Answer: 2
5.
How many kids liked either pears or bananas?
→ “Either” means add them together.
Pears (3) + Bananas (2) = 5
✔ Answer: 5
6.
How many kids liked either oranges or apples?
→ Again, “either” means add.
Oranges (6) + Apples (4) = 10
✔ Answer: 10
Final Answer:
4
Oranges
Bananas
2
5
10
