I'll solve this pictograph problem step by step. First, let me count the DVDs sold each month based on the key (each DVD icon = 20 DVDs).

Counting DVDs per month:
- March: 2 icons = 2 × 20 = 40 DVDs
- April: 5 icons = 5 × 20 = 100 DVDs
- May: 7 icons = 7 × 20 = 140 DVDs
- June: 9 icons = 9 × 20 = 180 DVDs
- July: 4 icons = 4 × 20 = 80 DVDs
- August: 1 icon = 1 × 20 = 20 DVDs
- September: 10 icons = 10 × 20 = 200 DVDs

Now let me answer each question:

Question 1: June & July vs August & September
- June + July = 180 + 80 = 260 DVDs
- August + September = 20 + 200 = 220 DVDs
- Answer: More were sold in June & July (260 > 220)

Question 2: Mean/average number of DVDs sold per month
- Total DVDs = 40 + 100 + 140 + 180 + 80 + 20 + 200 = 760
- Number of months = 7
- Average = 760 ÷ 7 = 108.57... ≈ 108.57 (rounded to nearest hundredth)

Question 3: Months prior to June vs months following June
- Prior to June: March + April + May = 40 + 100 + 140 = 280 DVDs
- Following June: July + August + September = 80 + 20 + 200 = 300 DVDs
- Answer: More were sold in months following June (300 > 280)

Question 4: Two consecutive months with fewest DVDs sold
Looking at consecutive pairs:
- March-April: 40 + 100 = 140
- April-May: 100 + 140 = 240
- May-June: 140 + 180 = 320
- June-July: 180 + 80 = 260
- July-August: 80 + 20 = 100
- August-September: 20 + 200 = 220
- Answer: July and August (100 DVDs total)

Question 5: Two consecutive months with greatest DVDs sold
From above calculations:
- Answer: May and June (320 DVDs total)

Question 6: DVDs sold in both May & July
- May: 140, July: 80
- Total: 140 + 80 = 220 DVDs

Question 7: DVDs sold in both March & April
- March: 40, April: 100
- Total: 40 + 100 = 140 DVDs

Final Answer:
1) More DVDs were sold during June & July (260) than August & September (220)

2) 108.57 DVDs (average per month)

3) More DVDs were sold in the months following June (300) than prior to June (280)

4) July and August had the fewest DVDs sold (100 total)

5) May and June had the greatest number of DVDs sold (320 total)

6) 220 DVDs were sold in May & July combined

7) 140 DVDs were sold in March & April combined
