Question 1: In which month did grade 4 pupils collect the most newspapers?

Look at Grade 4 column:
- Jan: 20
- Feb: 30
- Mar: 25
- Apr: 40 ← highest
- May: 35

→ April

---

Question 2: In which month did grade 5 pupils collect the fewest newspapers?

Look at Grade 5 column:
- Jan: 25
- Feb: 20 ← lowest
- Mar: 55
- Apr: 30
- May: 50

→ February

Question 3: How many kg of newspapers did the Grade 5 students collect?

Add all Grade 5 values:
25 + 20 + 55 + 30 + 50

Step-by-step:
25 + 20 = 45
45 + 55 = 100
100 + 30 = 130
130 + 50 = 180

→ 180 kg

Question 4: How many months did Grade 5 students collect more newspapers than Grade 4 students?

Compare each month:

- January: G5=25, G4=20 → G5 > G4 ✔
- February: G5=20, G4=30 → G5 < G4 ✘
- March: G5=55, G4=25 → G5 > G4 ✔
- April: G5=30, G4=40 → G5 < G4 ✘
- May: G5=50, G4=35 → G5 > G4 ✔

That’s 3 months: Jan, Mar, May

→ 3

Question 5: Which month has the fewest newspapers collected?

We need to find the smallest total for any single month (G4 + G5):

- January: 20 + 25 = 45
- February: 30 + 20 = 50
- March: 25 + 55 = 80
- April: 40 + 30 = 70
- May: 35 + 50 = 85

Smallest is January (45 kg)

→ January

Question 6: What is the difference between the total collection of Grades 4 and Grade 5?

First, calculate Grade 4 total:

20 + 30 + 25 + 40 + 35

20+30=50
50+25=75
75+40=115
115+35= 150 kg

Grade 5 total we already calculated: 180 kg

Difference = 180 - 150 = 30 kg

→ 30 kg

Final Answer:
1. April
2. February
3. 180 kg
4. 3
5. January
6. 30 kg
