Let’s solve this step by step.
We have two bar graph tasks. For each, we need to:
- Look at the table of data.
- Decide what goes on the x-axis (categories) and y-axis (numbers).
- Draw bars that match the numbers in the table.
- Label both axes clearly.

Task 1: Favorite School Subject
Data:
- Math → 2 votes
- English → 10 votes
- Social Studies → 4 votes
- Science → 2 votes
- History → 12 votes
Step-by-step:
1. The categories are school subjects → these go on the
x-axis (bottom).
2. The number of votes → these go on the
y-axis (side).
3. We need to pick a scale for the y-axis. Since the highest vote is 12, we can count by 1s or 2s. Let’s use 1s so it’s easy — label from 0 to 12.
4. Now draw bars:
- Math: bar up to 2
- English: bar up to 10
- Social Studies: bar up to 4
- Science: bar up to 2
- History: bar up to 12
5. Label x-axis: “Favorite School Subject”
6. Label y-axis: “Number of Votes”
✔ Done!

Task 2: Favorite Color
Data:
- Red → 8 votes
- Blue → 9 votes
- Purple → 4 votes
- Green → 11 votes
Step-by-step:
1. Categories = colors → x-axis
2. Numbers = votes → y-axis
3. Highest vote is 11 → label y-axis from 0 to 11 (or 12 to be safe), counting by 1s.
4. Draw bars:
- Red: up to 8
- Blue: up to 9
- Purple: up to 4
- Green: up to 11
5. Label x-axis: “Favorite Color”
6. Label y-axis: “Number of Votes”
✔ Done!

Final Answer:
For Task 1 (Favorite School Subject):
- X-axis labels: Math, English, Social Studies, Science, History
- Y-axis: Number of Votes (scale 0–12)
- Bar heights: Math=2, English=10, Social Studies=4, Science=2, History=12
For Task 2 (Favorite Color):
- X-axis labels: Red, Blue, Purple, Green
- Y-axis: Number of Votes (scale 0–11 or 0–12)
- Bar heights: Red=8, Blue=9, Purple=4, Green=11
Make sure to draw neat bars and write clear labels on both axes for each graph.
