Let's solve each question step by step using the picture graph provided.
Step 1: Understand the graph
Each
person icon (👤) represents
1 student.
We have three modes of transportation:
-
Car: Green car with 7 person icons.
-
Bus: Red bus with 9 person icons.
-
Bicycle: Orange bicycle with 5 person icons.
---
Now, answer each question:
---
1) How many come to school by bus?
Count the number of person icons next to the
bus.
There are
9 icons.
✔ Answer: 9 students
---
2) How many come to school by bicycle?
Count the number of person icons next to the
bicycle.
There are
5 icons.
✔ Answer: 5 students
---
3) How many more students come by car than by bicycle?
- Students by car:
7
- Students by bicycle:
5
Difference:
7 - 5 =
2
✔ Answer: 2 more students
---
4) How many more students come by bus than by car?
- Students by bus:
9
- Students by car:
7
Difference:
9 - 7 =
2
✔ Answer: 2 more students

5) How many students do not come by bus to school?
Total students = students by car + students by bicycle + students by bus
But we want those who
do not come by bus → so add car and bicycle.
- Car: 7
- Bicycle: 5
7 + 5 =
12
✔ Answer: 12 students
---
6) How many students are in this class?
Add all the students:
- Car: 7
- Bus: 9
- Bicycle: 5
Total = 7 + 9 + 5 =
21
✔ Answer: 21 students
