Let's solve each question step by step using the
Horizontal Bar Graph provided.
---
Step 1: Understand the graph
This is a
horizontal bar graph. The activities are listed on the
y-axis (vertical), and the number of children who like each activity is shown by the
length of the bar along the
x-axis (horizontal). The numbers at the end of each bar tell us exactly how many children chose that activity.
Here’s what each activity has:
-
Reading: 10 children
-
Crafts: 80 children
-
Drawing: 60 children
-
Painting: 30 children
-
Cycling: 50 children
-
Playing: 100 children

Question 1: Which activity is the most popular?
→ Look for the
longest bar or the
highest number.
✔ Playing has 100 children — the highest number.
Answer: Playing
---
Question 2: Which activity is the least popular?
→ Look for the
shortest bar or the
lowest number.
✔ Reading has only 10 children — the lowest number.
Answer: Reading
---
Question 3: Which activity is the second most least popular?
→ “Second most least popular” means the
second smallest number (i.e., the one that is least popular after the very least).
List all activities in order from
least to most popular:
1. Reading → 10
✔ (least)
2. Painting → 30 ←
this is second least
3. Cycling → 50
4. Drawing → 60
5. Crafts → 80
6. Playing → 100
So, after Reading (least), the next smallest is
Painting.
Answer: Painting

Question 4: How many children liked Drawing?
→ Look at the bar for
Drawing — it ends at
60.
Answer: 60
---
Question 5: How many children liked Writing?
→ Look at the graph —
Writing is NOT listed as one of the activities surveyed.
There is no bar for “Writing”, so
no children were recorded as liking Writing in this survey.
Answer: 0 (or "Not surveyed" — but since it’s a math worksheet, they expect a number)
✔ Answer: 0
