Bug Hunt Picture Graph Worksheet for Grade 3

Problem Analysis:

The task involves analyzing a scaled picture graph where each bug icon represents 5 bugs. We need to answer several questions based on the data provided in the graph.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### 1) Show that 30 bugs were found under logs in the picture graph.
- Each bug icon represents 5 bugs.
- To represent 30 bugs, we need \( \frac{30}{5} = 6 \) bug icons.
- Add 6 bug icons to the "Under logs" row in the graph.

#### 2) What was the most common place to find bugs? How many bugs were found there?
- Count the number of bug icons in each habitat:
- Long grass: 5 icons
- Short grass: 2 icons
- Under logs: 6 icons (from step 1)
- Pond: 7 icons
- On leafy plants: 4 icons
- The habitat with the most bug icons is the Pond with 7 icons.
- Since each icon represents 5 bugs, the total number of bugs in the pond is \( 7 \times 5 = 35 \).

Answer: Pond, 35 bugs

#### 3) What was the least common place to find bugs? How many bugs were found there?
- From the counts in step 2:
- Short grass has the fewest bug icons (2 icons).
- The total number of bugs in short grass is \( 2 \times 5 = 10 \).

Answer: Short grass, 10 bugs

#### 4) How many more bugs were found in the long grass than in the short grass?
- Number of bugs in long grass: \( 5 \times 5 = 25 \)
- Number of bugs in short grass: \( 2 \times 5 = 10 \)
- Difference: \( 25 - 10 = 15 \)

Answer: 15 more bugs

#### 5) Double the number of bugs were found in the pond than on leafy plants. True or false?
- Number of bugs in the pond: \( 7 \times 5 = 35 \)
- Number of bugs on leafy plants: \( 4 \times 5 = 20 \)
- Double the number of bugs on leafy plants: \( 2 \times 20 = 40 \)
- Since 35 (pond) is not equal to 40, the statement is false.

Answer: False

#### 6) How many bugs were found in total that day?
- Calculate the total number of bugs for each habitat:
- Long grass: \( 5 \times 5 = 25 \)
- Short grass: \( 2 \times 5 = 10 \)
- Under logs: \( 6 \times 5 = 30 \)
- Pond: \( 7 \times 5 = 35 \)
- On leafy plants: \( 4 \times 5 = 20 \)
- Sum the totals: \( 25 + 10 + 30 + 35 + 20 = 120 \)

Answer: 120 bugs

Final Answers:

1. Add 6 bug icons to the "Under logs" row.
2. Pond, 35 bugs
3. Short grass, 10 bugs
4. 15 more bugs
5. False
6. 120 bugs
